Weed Science Principles and Practices Pdf
About the Book
Designed mainly for college classroom instruction in the
principles and practices of weed science, this fourth edition follows the
format of previous editions but has been completely revised to provide more
in-depth coverage of all topics. The detailed discussion of these topics also
makes it useful to county agents, farm advisors, extension specialists,
consultants, herbicide development personnel, research scientists, and farmers.
The first third of the book deals with principles of weed science, the second
third with herbicides, and the last third with weed control practices in
specific crops or situations. Thus, this book brings together the modern
philosophy of weed science and the techniques of weed control.
