[APWG] Seeking info on invasive plant resistance to herbicides

[De Angelis, Patricia]

A recent New York Times article (Attack of the Superweeds: Herbicides are losing the war — and agriculture might never be the same again.<https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/18/magazine/superweeds-monsanto.html>) raises a question about whether cheatgrass or other non-native invasive plants have developed resistance to herbicidal control methods, including particularly but not limited to Indaziflam/Dicamba mixtures.

Please share info on any articles or websites that might inform this issue or serve as a resource. Thanks.
