This book addresses herbicides and their use as an important aspect of modern weed management,and strives to place them in an ecological framework. Many weed scientists believe agriculture is a continuing struggle with weeds - without good weed control, good and profitable agriculture is impossible. Each agricultural discipline sees itself as central to agriculture's success and continued progress, and weed science is no exception. While not
denying the importance of weed management to successful agriculture, this book places it in a
larger ecological context. The roles of culture, economics, and politics in weed management are also discussed, enabeling scientists and students to understand the larger effects on society.

* Information on New herbicides included, along with the old herbicides that are important for understanding the history
* New section on weed resistance to herbicides and genetic engineering
* New information on invasive plants

Review
"A valuable set of principles, strategies and case studies that paint a new and feasible greenprint for development. Agricultural Systems is particularly valuable in its practical approach to development and its focus on the role of farmers, especially women, in the process. Each chapter is supported by several case studies that direct the reader's attention to grassroots strategies that work. The
chapter on animal systems is a welcome addition, since many similar books focus almost entirely on cropping systems. It is well written and well worth adding to your personal library and recommending as a resource for students interested in
developing countries and their agriculture.
