Abstract
Nowadays only five global corporations operate herbicide discovery programs. In response to this industry consolidation, few new herbicide discoveries and global evolution of herbicide resistant weed populations there has been the very recent emergence of currently nineteen small start-up companies focused on herbicide discovery. This diversity and focus in start-ups is hoped to result in innovative new herbicide discovery that is needed to counter major herbicide resistance evolution in global weed species.
