Beskrivning

Fundamentals of Weed Science, Sixth Edition, places weed management in the context of weed research and science, presenting the latest advances in the role, control, and potential uses of weed plants. This book uses an ecological framework to explore the role of responsible and effective weed control in agriculture from the emergence and genetic foundation of weeds to the latest means of control and environmental effects.

Fully revised, updated, and expanded, Fundamentals of Weed Science now includes insights into international trad eand consumer preferences, weed seedbanks, advancements in robotic weeding, weed flaming, and the potential of precision agriculture in weed science.

Includes an emphasis on herbicide resistance and molecular biology, both of which have come to dominate weed science research
Covers all traditional aspects of weed science as well as current research
Provides broad coverage, including relevant related subjects like weed ecology and weed population genetics

Mer om författaren

Robert L. Zimdahl is a Professor of Weed Science at Colorado State University. He received his Ph.D. in Agronomy from Oregon State University. Among his many honors and awards, Dr. Zimdahl was elected a Fellow of the Weed Science Society of America in 1986 and currently serves as editor of that society’s journal, Weed Science. He has been a member of several international task forces and has authored a number of books and articles on the subject of weed science. He is the author of Fundamentals of Weed Science, and Six Chemicals that Changed Agriculture both from Elsevier. Dr. Basinger is an assistant professor of Weed Science at the University of Georgia in the Department of Crop and Soil Science. He received both his Masters and PhD from North Carolina State University in Weed Science. Dr. Basinger’s research focus is on the alteration and manipulation of the agroecosystem to reduce the impacts of weeds. He also is devoted to Integrated Weed Management (IWM) as a means to manage weeds, minimize potential for herbicide resistance, and improve productivity of desirable crops in crop and non-crop systems. Dr. Basinger is responsible for teaching several weed science courses at the University of Georgia. He is an active member of the Southern Weed Science Society and the Weed Science Society of America, is a board member on the Southern Cover Crops Council, and a member of the Getting Rid of Weeds (GROW) Initiative. This author team implements legacy planning for this proven title. It demonstrates the targeted balance between experienced expert and early-career professional who can continue the title into new editions.
