About this book

Identification and Control of Common Weeds, which is published in three volumes, introduces readers to nearly 600 common weeds. Volume 2 mainly focuses on ferns and 216 weedy species of magnoliids or dicotyledoneae. In addition to essential information, each chapter includes photos for a specific type of weed to show its morphology in different growth periods, such as seedling, root, flower, fruit, and mature plant. The book also discusses control measures, including agricultural, chemical, physical, biological, and comprehensive methods.

With the development of society and economics, weeds have become a recurring problem. In particular, the exotic, invasive, and quarantine weeds have spread dramatically and rapidly. On the other hand, many people, even those who are engaged in weed control, do not (or cannot) distinguish between weeds. Thus there is significant demand for illustrations of weed morphologies, as well as information on their control measures. Identification and Control of Common Weeds offers a valuable, practical guide for all those working in the fields of crop cultivation, plant protection and quarantine management.
