  • Descrição: Abstract Background The presence of weeds in Roundup Ready® (RR) soybean and corn crops compromises yield. Management practices recommended by the consultants and adopted by producers directly interfere in the occurrence of these species. Objective To survey management practices used in RR soybean and corn fields in the Rio Grande do Sul. Methods Data were gathered via the application of questionnaires during the 2018/19 growing season to consultants working with RR soybean and corn cropping in Rio Grande do Sul state. There were 112 responses, covering about 72 municipalities in the state. Results Technical consultants highlighted Conyza spp. and Lolium multiflorum as the most common weed species and classified resistance to herbicides and advanced stages of weeds at the time of herbicide application as the primary causes of low weed control efficacy. They observed an increase in resistance evolution and a two to three-fold increase in the use of herbicides in glyphosate-tolerant crops. Using a mixture of herbicides was the main recommendation for the management of weeds that escape control, while in areas with proven resistance, crop rotation was the main recommendation. Conclusions Crop rotation and herbicide mixtures are the most recommended management practices, with herbicide resistance and advanced stage of development listed as the main reasons for the difficulties of weed control.
