TEXTBOOK OF FUNDAMENTALS OF WEED MANAGEMENT

Description ABOUT THE BOOK Weed diversity, its competition, habitat and their control Measures are most important for enhanced sustainable agricultural & horticultural production and productivity with Integrated Crop Management & Precision Farming Technologies along with protected natural environment followed by balanced use of agricultural inputs in time. Now a days, much stress has been given for eco–friendly plant protection measures, which are the key areas for all–round economic development of our country taking part in the world market. “This publication presents a compilation of information from various resources, literatures reviews on the body of knowledge available from the research reports and synopsis carried out on various aspects of the identification, importance, and ecology, weed specificity in specific crops, different pesticide application equipments, different control measures of weeds precaution measures. It is mainly useful to students, researchers, and the Agricultural Experts to contribute to the better knowledge of weeds and specific weed control measures for producing better quality and quantity of crop yields as well as to educate pesticide applicators and operators in general safety awareness in public domain.
