The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Reduced herbicide use does not increase crop yield loss if it is compensated by alternative preventive and curative measures (2018, background): “Few of them consider effects on crop production (Milberg and Hallgren, 2004; Soltani et al., 2016), and then only with annual data focusing on one crop, disregarding all long term impacts.”
Crop Diversification for Improved Weed Management: A Review (2021, background): “Canola (Brassica napus L.) farmers in Canada use wheat as a rotation crop to gain profit and control ALS enzyme-inhibiting herbicide-resistant weeds [78].”
Assessment of yield and economic losses in agriculture due to weeds in India (2018, methodology): “Soltani et al. (2016) also estimated average yield loss in corn as 50%, which equates to a loss of 148 million tonnes of corn valued at over USD 26.7 billion annually in the United States and Canada.”
