Summary: "This book presents the most up-to-date and comprehensive guide to the current and potential future state of weed science and research. Weeds have a huge effect on the world by reducing crop yield and quality, delaying or interfering with harvesting, interfering with animal feeding (including poisoning), reducing animal health and preventing water flow. They are common across the world and cost billions of dollars’ worth of crop losses year on year, as well as billions of dollars in the annual expense of controlling them. An understanding of weeds in vital to their proper management and control, without which the reduction in crop yields that they would cause could lead to mass starvation across the globe. Topics covered include weed biology and ecology, control of weeds and particular issues faced in their control. Authored and edited by internationally renowned scientists in the filed all of whom are actively involved in European Weed Research Society working groups, this succinct overview covers all the relevant aspects of the science weeds. Weed Research: Expanding Horizons is the perfect resource for botanists, horticultural scientists, agronomists weed scientists, plant protection specialists and agrochemical personnel."--Back cover
