111Even the best made systems apply selection pressure to weeds to evolve in
response to the control strategies imposed. For this reason, and because of the natu-
ral human desire for simplicity, weeds will continue to persist and evolve to prevail
in cropping systems throughout Australia. Dynamic and integrated strategies are
needed to achieve a balance between crop and economic productivity and weed
infestation.
