Weeds of different traits are discussed and their response to varying growing methods and weed control measures are examined in detail.One of the books key strengths is its focus on the fundamental principles of weed development and the interaction between weed and crop. The discussion of these important topics are thoroughly covered and supported by experimental data from the authors own work and the published work of many other scientists. This book, with its fundamental focus on principles, will be valid for scientists and students for many years to come.
