"Weeds are rarely considered a priority despite the fact that all active farmers know that the majority of their variable costs and time are devoted to eradicating them. Even most crop losses due to pests can be traced directly back to weeds, which harbor the pests as secondary hosts. In the Molecular Biology of Weed Control, Jonathan Gres

The advances presented in the book are also an invaluable contribution to the expanding ""Weed Science"" and will serve as an excellent background and perspective for further weed studies.
Placing weed management in the largest context of weed research and science, the book presents the latest advances in the role, control and potential uses of weed plants.
This is followed chapters on weed classification, the uses of weeds, weed biology, weed ecology, allelopathy, the significance of plant competition, weed management and control methods, and biological weed control.
In Part One, the book begins with a general discussion of weeds: their biology, behavior and the characteristics that influence how to best control their populations.
Weed Biology and Control
The rapid escalation in herbicide resistance worldwide and in the understanding of resistance at the population, biochemical, and molecular level is the focus of this timely book.
In this book, current research is presented no the study of weed and pest control with a special focus on molecular biology, agronomic practices and environmental impact.
