Abstract

The present invention relates to the use of the ALS inhibitor herbicides for controlling unwanted vegetation in ALS inhibitor herbicide tolerant Brassica plants, more especially, the present invention relates to the use of ALS inhibitor herbicides for control of unwanted vegetation in Brassica growing areas which Brassica plants comprise non-transgenic mutations of their endogenous acetolactate synthase (ALS) genes I and III.
