Details The increased usage of low-till crop systems, environmental concerns about both the run-off of agrochemical and soil conservation, the need for better weed control in non-agricultural settings, non-native plants, wetland restorations, and vastly improved understanding of weed ecology have all combined to create a need for the major revision of our primary text in weed science. This book is a major revision of our long popular basic textbook in weed science. The first part address fundamental principles of weed biology, management practices, herbicide selection and use. The second part, much revised in this edition, deals with herbicides grouped according to their functionality and physiological effect rather than their chemistry. The last part deals with practical use in specific situations: small grains, row crops, horticultural crops, lawns and turf, range land, brush, and aquatic weed control.
