A method for controlling undesired vegetation at a plant cultivation site is provided. The method comprises the steps of providing, at said site, a plant that comprises at least one nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a wild-type hydroxyphenyl pyruvate dioxygenase or a mutated hydroxyphenyl pyruvate dioxygenase (mut-HPPD) which is resistant or tolerant to a HPPD-inhibiting herbicide and/or a nucleotide sequence encoding a wild-type homogentisate solanesyl transferase or a mutated homogentisate solanesyl transferase (mut-HST) which is resistant or tolerant to a HPPD-inhibiting herbicide, preferably a bicycloarylcarboxamide, applying to said site an effective amount of said herbicide. Plants comprising mut-HPPD and methods of obtaining such plants are further provided.
