The invention provides cropping systems for managing weeds in crop environments. The cropping systems comprise, in one embodiment, transgenic plants that display tolerance to an auxin-like herbicide such as dicamba. Method for minimizing the development of herbicide resistant weeds are also provided. La présente invention concerne des systèmes de culture destinés à lutter contre les mauvaises herbes dans des environnements de cultures. Dans un mode de réalisation, les systèmes de culture comprennent des plantes transgéniques qui affichent une tolérance aux herbicides de type auxine, tel le dicamba. L'invention porte aussi sur un procédé destiné à réduire le développement de mauvaises herbes résistant aux herbicides.
