Herbicide Resistance Assessment

This interactive tool is based on the Herbicide Resistance Audit produced by the Weed Resistance Action Group. It is an opportunity to assess the herbicide resistance risk in fields on your farm.

Instructions:

  1. Decide which description best suits the field history for each of the individual areas.
  2. Once all areas have a selected option, click the calculate button at the end of the form.
  3. The final score will then be displayed and is an indication of how big a risk herbicide resistance is on your farm.
