ABSTRACT:
This invention concerns a method for improving the yield of crop plants which are resistant to glutamine synthetase inhibitors by treating the plants with glutamine synthetase inhibitors at application rates which are not harmful to the plants. In particular, the invention relates to a method in which glutamine synthetase inhibitors are employed to increase the yield of plants which are protected against the herbicidal activity of the glutamine synthetase inhibitors by expression of an n-acetyltransferase gene.
