Herbicide efficacy inside plants can be affected by several biological, physiological, and abiotic factors, in turn impacting herbicide selectivity and weed control effectiveness. Several factors, such as herbicide chemistry, weed biology, and environmental stresses may affect herbicide and plant interaction. Additionally, with the steady increase in cases of weed resistance to herbicides across the globe in the last two decades, investigation of herbicide and soil interactions, and thereby weed control, is extremely important. The focus of this Research Topic will be to provide opportunities for weed scientists across the globe to publish new insights in the area of weed and herbicide physiology. The understanding of herbicide physiology in plants is vital to better implement this tool for sustainable weed management.
The goal of this Research Topic is to publish original manuscripts that provide new information on herbicide physiology. We welcome Reviews, Original Research, Methods, Perspectives, and Opinion articles on this topic. We intend to identify the top researchers in this area and invite them to publish in the collection.
We invite topics around the following, but it is not limited to:
• Herbicide physiology
• Herbicide synergists
• Climate impact on herbicide efficacy and selectivity
• Herbicide metabolism in plants
• Physiology aspects on herbicide mixture interactions
• Evolution of herbicide resistance
• Fate of herbicides in soil, including herbicide persistence, halflife and enhanced degradation aspects
• New herbicide chemistries
• Safeners
• Adjuvants
