Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

The science of weed control has advanced more during the past 50 years than in the previous centuries. In this book, the old reliable weed control methods are integrated with modern chemical techniques. Together, these practices result in more effective and less expensive weed control programs. The text also focuses on the growing interest in the environmental impact and safety of weed control practices and the development of new herbicides of low mammalian toxicity that can be used at very low rates. It features new material on the biology and ecology of weeds and the use of more effective control methods. More details on the use of herbicides are provided and the common names and trade names of herbicides are cross-indexed in the appendix for easy access.
