Weeds are the pioneer plants of disturbed soils and can adversely affect the use, economic value, and aesthetic aspect of the lands and waters they infest.

This well-researched text expounds on the interrelationships between weed species and the environment and discusses weed control programs. The first part of the book addresses weed control principles, including weed ecology, conservation tillage, and weed resistance and transgenic crop tolerance. The remaining chapters delve into herbicide families and weed control in selected crops.This third edition of Weed Science: Principles and Applications expands and updates selected topics presented in earlier editions and introduces new topics gaining prominence in weed science.
