Description
This book addresses herbicides and their use as an important aspect of modern weed management,and strives to place them in an ecological
framework. Many weed scientists believe agriculture is a continuing struggle with weeds - without good weed control, good and profitable
agriculture is impossible. Each agricultural discipline sees itself as central to agriculture's success and continued progress, and weed
science is no exception. While not
denying the importance of weed management to successful agriculture, this book places it in a
larger
ecological context. The roles of culture, economics, and politics in weed management are also discussed, enabeling scientists and students
to understand the larger effects on society.
Audience
Graduate students, faculty, and researchers in weed science; government officials.
