Customer Reviews

An very good resource for land management.

This book gives a great background to managing weeds. However, it does focus on management in crop lands. There is excellent information on many different management techniques from mechanical control to the use of herbicides. Many chapters are also devoted to the biological mechanisms that make herbicides effective. For anyone interested in restoration and weed management in noncrop lands, this book may not be worth the money. You can get a lot of the same information off herbicide labels and the internet.
