The Weed Science Society of America (WSSA) recently released a series of free online training modules on understanding and managing herbicide resistance. The target audience for the five modules is consultants/field advisors/agronomists but I think any weed managers could benefit from them.
Just a quick note about soil seed banks. If you are not familiar with the term, it is where seeds are stored in the soil until conditions are appropriate for germination or where they decompose.

A new weed has been identified in California rice. Its name is winged primrose willow (WPW), and it is a weed in rice fields in the southern US. So far this weed has been identified only in fields near Richvale.
