We have reached significant milestones in herbicide resistance evolution in many regions around the world.  The current lack of new easy fixes, i.e., new herbicides with novel modes of action, is causing a sense of urgency as the sustainability of some productive cropping systems is coming under increasing threat.  The issues encompassing resistance to insecticides and fungicides presaged those for herbicides, causing many to see developments following the same path, albeit slower.  Although many similarities can be counted, nonetheless there are significant differences that require different approaches.  However, it is beneficial to revisit this comparison to see what we have learned from the other disciplines, namely that combining all available tools and educating and communicating with stakeholders across many levels are keys to developing effective and sustainable management strategies.

Revisiting resistance to fungicides and insecticides: What is not the same and what have we in weed control learned from them?
