Thesis (MScAgric (Agronomy))--Stellenbosch University, 2008. / The development of herbicide resistance in weeds is one of the major factors hampering
profitable crop production worldwide. In South Africa resistance to herbicides in weeds is also
a big problem, in particular in the Winter Rainfall Region of the country. The lack of sufficient
different mode of action herbicide groups that can be rotated in these conditions necessitate the
implementation of integrated weed management programmes to curb the development and
spread of herbicide resistance. One of the alternative physical weed management strategies is
to maximize crop competition to the weed population. One aspect of such a strategy is to plant crop cultivars that have greater interference potential than others.
