WEED AND PEST CONTROL: CONVENTIONAL AND NEW CHALLENGES

Weed control is the botanical component of pest control, which attempts to stop weeds, especially noxious or injurious weeds in undesirable place, from competing with domesticated plants and livestock. Many strategies have been developed in order to contain these plants. This book covers insect control strategies, tactics in integrated pest management of opportunistic generalist insect species, biological control of root pathogens, and insect pest control by polyculture strategy, application of several integrated pest management programs, irrigation tactics and soil physical processes, and carbon stocks to manage weeds.
