Herbicide use is an essential part of agricultural practices for optimizing crop production these days. This book broadly covers the mechanisms of herbicidal action, mode of action of certain herbicides on controlling diseases, weed expansion and production, and growth and progress of field crops. This compilation is well elaborated and summarized with topics like molecular mechanism of action, immunosensors, community response, utilization of herbicides in biotech culture, weed resistance, herbicides risk and herbicides persistence. The studies in this book reflect that practice with one...

This book covers topics of synthesis and various properties of herbicides in an in-depth manner. It outlines the detailed studies of various synthetic pathways of specific herbicides and the physical and chemical features of other synthesized herbicides. The objective of this book is to showcase several characteristics and features of herbicides, the physical and chemical properties of specific types of herbicides, and their effects on physical and chemical features of soil and micro-flora. In addition, an assessment of the extent of contamination in soils as well as crops by herbicides has...

This book covers herbicidal control of weeds in an in-depth manner. It discusses numerous techniques used by herbicides for controlling a particular weed population. The objective of this book is to showcase several characteristics and features of herbicides, the physical and chemical properties of specific types of herbicides, and their effects on physical and chemical features of soil and micro-flora.

This book presents an overview on the impact of weeds on crop production and the use of herbicides to curb their negative influence on crop yield. Weeds have an adverse impact on crop quality and yield. Thus, profitable farming depends on their control by well synchronized management methodologies. Chemical herbicides are of crucial significance amongst these techniques. Their progress and commercialization began around 1940's and they significantly facilitated a timely boost in crop yield and quality when it was most required. This book brings together various important topics with...

Both in agricultural and non-crop settings, herbicides have found utility in weed management strategies universally. However, applications and methodologies have been continually undergoing advancements. The aim of this book is to facilitate a better understanding of perennially evolving weed compositions while maintaining the effectiveness of current options. This book, therefore, provides detailed data about prevalent trends in the utilization of herbicides and management of weed in various land and water settings along with a study of cases of weed control in specific situations.

The researches and case studies detailed in this book provide a great deal of information concerning herbicide use in a number of settings. Both in agricultural and non-crop settings, herbicides have found utility in weed management strategies universally. However, applications and methodologies have been continually undergoing advancements. The aim of this book is to facilitate a better understanding of perennially evolving weed compositions while maintaining the effectiveness of current options. This book, therefore, provides detailed research review on the prevalent trends in the...

In an effort to eradicate the growing concerns posed by weeds in agricultural output, this book provides readers with an insight on herbicide use. Among the various pesticides used globally for control of weed and other undesirable plants in agricultural and related environments, herbicides are one of the most extensively used. Intense research is being continuously carried out in this field because of its excellent capability to control weed, while minimizing adverse effects on the ecological systems. Currently, a broad spectrum of research work is being carried out to focus on better use of...
