Natural Weed Control

This book provides information about current trends in herbicide use and weed control in different land and aquatic settings as well as case studies in particular weed control situations

This book blends review chapters with scientific studies, creating an overview of some the current trends in the field of herbicides. Included are environmental studies on their toxicity and impact on natural populations, methods to reduce herbicide inputs and therefore overall non-target toxicity, and the use of bioherbicides as natural alternatives.

This book highlights some of the most recent research with respect to emerging pest challenges in agricultural crop and animal husbandry production

This book provides a unique and current look at the process of discovery in the field of crop protection. As many plants are able to resist various control agents, it is necessary to look for entirely new active types of compounds. The book examines combinatorial chemistry approaches, long used in medicinal discovery, to find new agrochemical types.
