It describes and discusses matters and relationships that are important as a basis for understanding the varying occurrence of weeds in different crops and cropping systems and, at the same time, the response of different weeds to specified management measures for integrated weed management. The following topics are covered: ecological plant classification, annual and perennial crops, weed communities in vegetation succession, diverse life forms, germination, emergence and establishment, competition, plant adaptation to environmental conditions, soil tillage effects on weeds, chemical weed control, special management measures (including cover crops, mulches, biological control, plant breeding and physical weed control), and understanding the occurrence and rational management of weeds. This book will be of interest to teachers, postgraduate and undergraduate students and weed science researchers UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1079/9780851996516.000 ER -
