Herbicide resistance is considered the epitome of a wicked problem: “The causes are convoluted by a myriad biological and technological factors, and are fundamentally driven by the vagaries of human decision-making.”enPlaas PublishingHuman decision-makingHerbicide resistanceWeedWithout clear causesArticle
