An in-depth exploration of weed science fundamentals and the development of improved methods of sustainable weed management and control

In Weed Science and Weed Management in Rice and Cereal-Based Cropping Systems, distinguished researchers Aurora Baltazar and Surajit K. De Datta deliver a robust and comprehensive discussion of the history, production systems, and practices of rice cropping systems in major rice-growing countries, and how those production practices impact crop-weed relationships and weed management practices. Weed Science also describes basic weed science principles as they apply to tropical cropping situations. Readers will be able to apply the material in this book to develop improved, efficient, and economically and environmentally sustainable strategies to manage or control weeds.

The weed management methods discussed include chemical, cultural, mechanical, biological, and integrated methods. There is a strong focus on the most recent research, including new herbicide chemistries and modes of action, molecular biology, and weed genomics. Readers will also find:

  • A thorough introduction to the fundamentals of weed science and weeds, including weed definitions and weeds of importance in rice cropping systems
  • Comprehensive explorations of weed biology, including how weeds grow from seeds and the nature of weed-crop competition in rice-based cropping systems
  • Practical discussions of weed ecology, including the characteristics of weediness and adaptation traits
  • Comprehensive treatments of integrated weed management, including direct and indirect methods of weed control

Perfect for researchers, teachers, and students in the areas of weed science, integrated pest management systems, and herbicides, Weed Science and Weed Management in Rice and Cereal-Based Cropping Systems will also benefit professionals working in agronomy, horticulture, botany, biology, plant physiology, ecology, and chemistry.
