The latest edition continues the tradition set by the original book, and covers weed science research that has been published since 1980. This book aims to reduce the instance of research duplication-saving scientists and supporting institutions time and money. Not only does the second edition of Weed Crop Competition review, summarize, and combine current research; it critiques the research as well. This text has the potential to accelerate advancements in weed crop cWeedsPlant competitionWeedsBibliographyPlant competitionBibliographyWeeds.Plant competition.WeedsPlant competition632.5Zimdahl Robert L282942MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996212497603316Weed-crop competition2132522UNISA
