Overview

"A guide to dealing with the appearance and management of plants with different traits that occur as weeds on arable land. 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 responses of different weeds to specified management measures. This knowledge is particularly crucial in planning systems of weed management measures over long periods of time, in other words, in planning ""integrated weed management""."
