Integration of PAM-IMAGING Chlorophyll Fluorometry for Herbicide Sensitivity Estimations in Weed Research

The book explores the urgent need for rapid herbicide resistance detection methods, focusing on chlorophyll fluorescence as a sensitive indicator of plant health. It highlights the Fv/Fm ratio as a reliable measure of photosystem II efficiency, primarily studied in Alopecurus myosuroides. The research expands to investigate herbicide resistance in various significant weed species, both monocots and dicots, thereby filling a critical gap in existing knowledge. This comprehensive approach aims to enhance future herbicide resistance management strategies.
