Herbicide resistance is the inherited ability of a plant to survive and reproduce following exposure to a dose of herbicide normally lethal to the wild type. In a plant, resistance may be naturally occurring or induced by such techniques as genetic engineering or selection of variants produced by tissue culture or mutagenesis." From a practical standpoint, if you think "We’ve never gotten dependable control of this weed with this herbicide…” - that is probably best described as "tolerance".
"Herbicide tolerance is the inherent ability of a species to survive and reproduce after herbicide treatment. This implies that there was no selection or genetic manipulation to make the plant tolerant; it is naturally tolerant." Practically, if you think "We used to be able to control this weed with this treatment but it doesn’t seem to work anymore…” - that may be "resistance".
