Staver. 330 $aConcerns over environmental and human health impacts of conventional weed management practices, herbicide resistance in weeds, and rising costs of crop production and protection have led agricultural producers and scientists in many countries to seek strategies that take greater advantage of ecological processes and thereby allow a reduction in herbicide use. This book provides principles and practices for ecologically based weed management in a wide range of temperate and tropical farming systems. After examining weed life histories and processes determining the assembly of weed communities, the authors describe how tillage and cultivation practices, manipulations of soil conditions, competitive cultivars, crop diversification, grazing livestock, arthropod and microbial biocontrol agents, and other factors can be used to reduce weed germination, growth, competitive ability, reproduction and dispersal. Special attention is given to the evolutionary challenges that weeds pose and the roles that farmers can play in the development of new weed-management strategies. 606 $aWeeds$xBiological control 606 $aWeeds$xEcology 606 $aAgricultural ecology 606 $aTillage 606 $aAgricultural systems 615 0$aWeeds$xBiological control. 615 0$aWeeds$xEcology. 615 0$aAgricultural ecology. 615 0$aTillage. 615 0$aAgricultural systems. 676 $a632/.5 700 $aLiebman$b Matt$01709923 702 $aMohler$b Charles L.$f1947-2021 702 $aStaver$b Charles P.$f1949- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810543503321 996 $aEcological management of agricultural weeds$94100100 997 $aUNINA
