    Improving weed control in pulses - delivery of herbicide tolerance traits
    Pulse crops are inherently poor competitors and can suffer 15 - 44% yield loss at even small population densities of broadleaf weeds. Herbicides are the main method of weed control used in modern day farming systems, however there are currently…
