Overview

This review highlights emerging herbicide resistance and regulatory challenges in sub-Saharan Africa, suggesting improved management strategies.

Key Points

  • Herbicide resistance threatens crop productivity, with some regions experiencing yield losses of up to 90%.
  • The number of herbicide-resistant weed species surged from 2 in 1957 to over 500 by 2020.
  • A comprehensive analysis of herbicide use patterns reveals increasing dependency and weak regulatory oversight in sub-Saharan Africa.
  • Proposed strategies aim to strengthen herbicide regulation and promote integrated weed management within national policies.
