Review

"The book will be of value to undergraduate students in weed science; faculty, graduate students, and researchers who need a survey of the basics of weed science; and government and policy officials who need a primer for weed science in order to evaluate impact assessments for particular weed management strategies."
-WEED TECHNOLOGY (1999)

The focus is on weed biology and ecology, but coverage of herbicides and chemical weed control is also included. This is a book on the principles of weed science and not a weed control handbook.

Appears to be a college textbook. Lots of good information but it appears to be written by a professor (a bit boring). Not a book for the casual reader, it is a book if you want to learn the scientific aspects of weeds and control.
