and pesticide discovery research are also briefly reviewed. At least 105 chemical pesticides …

Optimization of crop production in recent times has become essential to fulfil food demands
of constantly increasing human populations worldwide. To address this formidable …

Herbicide resistance has become one of the foremost problems in crop production
worldwide. New herbicides are required to manage weeds that have evolved resistance to …

New herbicide modes of action (MOAs) are in great demand because of the burgeoning
evolution of resistance of weeds to existing commercial herbicides. This need has been …

To date, effectively controlling resistant weeds has been a great challenge in modern
agricultural production. Developing new modes of action of herbicides would be an efficient …

Weeds are a permanent component of anthropogenic ecosystems. They require strict control
to avoid the accumulation of their long-lasting seeds in the soil. With high crop infestation …

While herbicides are the most effective and widely adopted weed management approach,
the evolution of multiple herbicide resistance in damaging weed species threatens the yield …

Herbicides are small molecules that act by inhibiting specific molecular target sites within
