Fundamentals of Weed Science, Sixth Edition, places weed management in the context of weed research and science, presenting the latest advances in the role, control, and potential uses of weed plants. This book uses an ecological framework to explore the role of responsible and effective weed control in agriculture from the emergence and genetic foundation of weeds to the latest means of control and environmental effects.

Fully revised, updated, and expanded, Fundamentals of Weed Science now includes insights into international trad eand consumer preferences, weed seedbanks, advancements in robotic weeding, weed flaming, and the potential of precision agriculture in weed science.

Includes an emphasis on herbicide resistance and molecular biology, both of which have come to dominate weed science research
Covers all traditional aspects of weed science as well as current research
Provides broad coverage, including relevant related subjects like weed ecology and weed population genetics
