Download or read book Encyclopedia of Herbicides Volume IV Environmental and Management Approaches written by Molly Ismay and published by . This book was released on 2015-01-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an overview on the impact of weeds on crop production and the use of herbicides to curb their negative influence on crop yield. Weeds have an adverse impact on crop quality and yield. Thus, profitable farming depends on their control by well synchronized management methodologies. Chemical herbicides are of crucial significance amongst these techniques. Their progress and commercialization began around 1940's and they significantly facilitated a timely boost in crop yield and quality when it was most required. This book brings together various important topics with scientific researches and outlines some of the contemporary trends in the subject of herbicides. This comprehensive compilation also includes environmental studies on the toxicity and influence of herbicides on natural populations, techniques to cut down herbicide inputs and ensuring the use of bioherbicides as natural substitutes.

Book excerpt: This Encyclopedia of Land Use, Land Cover and Soil Sciences is a component of the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias. Land is one of our most precious assets. It represents space, provides food and shelter, stores and filters water, and it is a base for urban and industrial development, road construction, leisure and many other social activities. Land is, however not unlimited in extent, and even when it is physically available its use is not necessarily free, either because of natural limitations (too cold, too steep, too wet or too dry, etc.) or because of constraints of access or land tenure.
