- mnw21cam 9y agoAgreed. Plants can develop resistance to herbicides, but they can't really develop resistance to being dug up. Although the dandelions and bindweed in my garden would be prominent counter-examples.
- topspin 9y agoI suspect that 10 years from now the notion of carpet bombing a field with anti-weed chemicals will seem stupid as simple weed hunting robots deal with the problem automatically. Dandelions need sunlight too. Assuming your weed bot keeps the plant reduced to a leafless stub the roots will die eventually.
