In 2014, we published the book Recent Advances in Weed Management. This new book discusses recent developments in weed science, including future challenges and opportunities in weed science, herbicide residue issues, harvest weed seed control practices, regenartive agriculture, site-specific weed management, nanoherbicides, and the role of molecular biology in weed management.
Recent Advances in Weed Science is generously supplemented with illustrations and tables. This should be an essential book for students taking introductory courses in weed science as well as a reference source for agricultural advisors, county agents, extension specialists, and professionals throughout the agrochemical industry.
Future challenges and opportunities in weed science.- Herbicide
residues: Environmental fate and impact on food safety.- Harvest weed seed
control: An additional late-season nonchemical weed management tool.- The
role of unmanned aerial vehicles and sensor technology in site-specific weed
management.- Drivers, concepts, processes, and recent advances in integrated
weed management.- Adaptive weed management in regenerative agriculture:
opportunities and challenges.- Aquatic plant management.- Nanoherbicides: A
new frontier for weed management in agriculture.- Molecular biology in weed
management.- Advances in omics approaches for weed management.
Prof. Bhagirath Singh Chauhan, The University of Queensland, Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation, Gatton, Queensland, Australia
Professor Chauhan received his PhD in Weed Science from the University of Adelaide, South Australia in 2007. He leads weed research in the northern grain region of Australia. He has worked in several countries, including Australia, Bangladesh, India, Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam. He is on the editorial board for several highly regarded journals, including Weed Science. He has published over 500 articles and edited several books, including Rice Production Worldwide, Crop Protection under Changing Climate, and Non-chemical Weed Management.
