Abstract
Herbicide resistance in weeds is a significant challenge to agriculture. This study adopts a holistic approach combining resistance confirmation, mechanism investigation, alternative control solutions, and population modeling to manage *Amaranthus palmeri* resistance to glyphosate in Argentinian soybean systems. Resistance was primarily due to a P1065 target-site mutation in the EPSPS gene, with minor contributions from gene duplication/overexpression. Alternative herbicides like fomesafen proved effective. Modeling revealed that single-herbicide use selects for specific resistance mechanisms, highlighting the importance of residual herbicides and chemical diversity for sustainable weed control.
