An introductory text on fundamentals and principles of weed science providing the information necessary for the development of weed management strategies. Weeds are found throughout the world. However, all are not common in every region. Since weeds can be easily spread, more and more are being disseminated to places where they were not originally found. Weed management is the control of weeds through a long-term management approach, using several weed management techniques. Weed management is most successful when it involves an integrated approach using a variety of methods. The common methods used to manage weeds include prevention and cultural, mechanical, biological, and chemical means.
