Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Weeds are one of the major pest threats to agriculture production, causing crop yield losses and health hazards, and impairing product quality. The management of weeds relies heavily on herbicides but results in the development of resistance. Many scientific studies were carried out to understand herbicide resistance and shared with the public. However, more knowledge on herbicide resistance is still needed, especially using genomics, transcriptomics, and other omics techniques, as well as monitoring measures, and control strategies of resistant weeds that depend on clear resistance mechanisms.
The aim and scope of this Special Issue, titled “Pesticide Resistance in Agricultural Practices”, are to elucidate the biochemical and molecular resistance mechanisms of weeds to herbicides, especially using omics techniques and novel weed control strategies that have never been reported. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Target-site/non-target-site herbicide resistance;
- Molecular basis of evolution in herbicide resistance;
- Fitness traits of herbicide-resistant weeds;
- Omics techniques for weeds;
- Novel approaches for weed management strategies.
We welcome novel research articles and reviews addressing all related topics.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Agriculture is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
