Globally, weed control has become an integral part of the integrated pest management (IPM) programme. Therefore, practices involved in its handling, control and eradication become imperative for better management.This book reviewed the different weed management practices from conventional practices through cultural and integrated practices employed in its curtailment. The six-chapter book exclusively described various aspects of crop protection and weed control programme, historic developments in weed control practices, methods and control practices as well as application equipment and calibration and other chemical application techniques.
