      abstract = {"Preserving the efficacy of herbicides and of  herbicide-resistance technology depends on awareness of the  increasing resistance of weeds to herbicides used in  agriculture and coordinated action to address the problem  by individuals at the farm level and beyond. This summit  served as a venue to bring the attention of important  stakeholders to the issue and as an opportunity for experts  from diverse disciplines to strategize in a coordinated way  to address herbicide-resistant weeds. In convening  stakeholders for this event, participants took a step  toward a recommendation from the 2010 National Research  Council report The Impact of Genetically Engineered Crops  on Farm Sustainability in the United States that federal  and state government agencies, private-sector technology  developers, universities, farmer organizations, and other  relevant stakeholders collaborate to document emerging  weed-resistance problems and to develop cost-effective  resistance-management programs and practices that preserve  effective weed control. The summit provided the opportunity  for stakeholders to explore the scientific basis of the  emergence of herbicide resistance and to consider different  perspectives on both opportunities and barriers to  overcoming the problem of herbicide-resistant weeds.  National Summit on Strategies to Manage Herbicide-Resistant  Weeds contains a brief synopsis of key points made by each  speaker at the summit."--Publisher's description.},
