Beschreibung
Herbicides make a spectacular contribution to modern cropproduction. Yet, for the development of more effective and saferagrochemicals, it is essential to understand how these compoundswork in plants and their surroundings.
This expanded and fully revised second edition of Herbicidesand Plant Physiology provides a comprehensive and up-to-dateaccount of how modern herbicides interact with target plants, andhow they are used to manage crop production. In addition, thetext:
* Provides a current account of the importance of weeds to cropyield and quality;
* Describes how new herbicides are discovered and developed;
* Examines precise sites of herbicide action and mechanisms ofherbicide selectivity and resistance;
* Reviews commercial and biotechnological applications, includinggenetically engineered herbicide resistance in crops;
* Suggests new areas for future herbicide development;
* Includes many specially prepared illustrations.
As a summary of diverse research information, this secondedition of Herbicides and Plant Physiology is a valuablereference for students and researchers in plant physiology, cropproduction/protection, plant biochemistry, biotechnology andagriculture. All libraries in universities, agricultural collegesand research establishments where these subjects are studied andtaught will need copies of this excellent book on theirshelves.

"This revised edition of Herbicides and Plant Physiology is anexcellent addition to the bookshelf of any advisers, researchers oragronomy students. This authoritative, yet readable resource (firstpublished in 1992) delves beneath the surface of herbicide activityto examine a wide range of past and present weed control strategiesand developments from the viewpoint of plant physiology, but alsoprovides a far wider perspective."
