Description for Weed Biology and Management
Hardback. Offers a global perspective on weed science by presenting contributions from a group of researchers in 12 countries, reviewed by over 50 experts. This book discusses technologies, which could relieve the negative impacts of weeds on crop production in a way that allows growers to optimise profits and preserve human health and the environment. Editor(s): Inderjit. Series: Bioelectric Engineering. Num Pages: 565 pages, 61 black & white illustrations, 14 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PST; TVP. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 234 x 156 x 31. Weight in Grams: 968.
Weeds hold an enigmatic and sometimes-controversial place in agriculture, where they are generally reviled, grudgingly tolerated, and occasionally admired. In most cases, growers make considerable effort to reduce the negative economic impact of weeds because they compete with crops for resources and hinder field operations, thereby affecting crop productivity and quality, and ultimately the sustainability of agriculture. Weed control in production agriculture is commonly achieved through the integration of chemical, biological, and mechanical management methods. Chemicals (herbicides) usually inhibit the growth and establishment of weed plants by interfering with various physiological and biochemical pathways. Biological methods include crop competition, smother ... Read more

Reviews for Weed Biology and Management
From the reviews: "Weeds have long been a concern of agriculturalists, and they continue to challenge weed scientists and farmers. … In 25 chapters, this book deals with such diverse topics as the evaluation of allelopathy, enhancing allelopathy through crop improvement, the beneficial effects of weeds under selected conditions, unique approaches to the study of ...
