“…For instance, the introduction of the Clearfield® Production System (CPS) using Imidazolinone (imazapic and imazapyr) herbicide had been successful in reducing weedy rice population, and led to the eventual increase of rice production during the initial years of its introduction (Azmi, Azlan, Yim, George, & Chew, 2012). However, it has been reported that weedy rice had subsequently developed resistance toward Imidazolinone herbicides within 5 years of the CPS introduction (Bzour, Zuki, Mispan, Jodeh, & Latif, 2019; Dilipkumar, Burgos, Chuah, & Ismail, 2018; Engku et al, 2016; Jaafar, Juraimi, Hamdani, Kamaluddin, & Man, 2014). The gene flow from herbicide‐resistant rice varieties to weedy rice from natural hybridization (Engku et al, 2016; Ruzmi, Ahmad‐Hamdani, & Bakar, 2017) and spontaneous mutation (Dilipkumar et al, 2018) has been discussed as the potential contributors to weedy rice resistance in the country.…”
