This poster is a state-level map that summarizes estimates of the costs of herbicide resistant weeds in cotton production. The work is the result of a review of the literature including research papers, extension bulletins, press reports, and interviews with weed and crop scientists. Per acre costs of resistant weeds can be quite high per acre, especially if growers must resort to hand weeding.
