Abstract
Research on the uses of herbicide hormesis to improve crop yield and the role of herbicide hormesis in weed management has greatly increased in recent years. The use of herbicide hormesis to improve crop quality and yield has been hampered by erratic results and difficulty in choosing a dose that will provide reliable hormesis in the field. A sequential application of low glyphosate doses in the form of a seed treatment followed by a low dose after seedling emergence [...]
