Fundamentals of Weed Science, 5e continues to provide the latest information on this dynamic and constantly advancing topic in a comprehensive, multidisciplinary volume. Placing weed management into the largest context of weed research and science, Fundamentals of Weed Science presents the latest advances in understanding the role, control, and potential uses of weed plants. From the emergence and genetic foundation of weeds to the latest means of control and environmental impact, the book uses an ecological framework, to explore the role of responsible and effective weed control in agriculture. Zimdahl includes discussion of related areas where research is needed for additional relevant understanding of the subject. Including examples the roles of culture, economics, and politics in weed management, enabling scientists and students to understand the larger effects on society. Fully revised with 35% new contentExpanded coverage of Ethnobotany, the specific identity and role of invasive weed species, organic agriculture, and herbicide resistance in GM cropsIncreased emphasis to herbicide resistance and molecular biology, both of which have come to dominate weed science researchIncludes all traditional aspects of weed science as well as current research.Provides broad coverage including relevant related subjects including Weed ecology, Weed population genetics that are lacking in other weed science resources INDICE: 1.
