Weed Science and Weed Management in Rice and Cereal-Based Cropping Systems, 2 Volumes

The book presents discussions on:

• Biology and ecology of major troublesome weeds infesting rice, wheat, corn, soybean, focusing on different cropping patterns in both tropical and temperate cropping systems and science-based weed management practices involving chemical, non-chemical, biological, integrated methods.
• Herbicides used, with their most recent classification, identification of new target sites, mechanisms and modes of action and how and why weeds evolve resistance to herbicides.
• New concepts, new paradigms and new technologies to manage evolution of resistance to herbicides including weed genomics, bioherbicides and allelochemicals.
• Highly recommended for students, teachers, researchers, agronomists, horticulturists, crop physiologists, and crop protection specialists in tropical and temperate agricultural systems, particularly in areas where major tropical weeds are posing potential threats to temperate agricultural systems.

Aurora M. Baltazar, first author, is Adjunct Professor at the Institute of Weed Science, Entomology and Plant Pathology, University of the Philippines at Los Banos, where she taught and did research on weed biology, weed ecology and herbicide behavior in plants and soils, including ways to improve selectivity of postemergence grass herbicides in emerged rice and grass weeds.

Surajit K. De Datta, co-author, is Adjunct Senior Faculty, Center for the International Research, Education and Development (CIRED), Virginia Tech, where he served for 20 years as the Director of the Office of International Research, Education, and Development (OIRED), Virginia Tech.
