Beskrivelse
Parasitic weeds are becoming a more serious problem with intensification of cropping practices. Available control measures are far from complete or simple and an understanding of biology, ecology and socio-economic factors is required to design successful integrated control systems. This book covers the identification, distribution, importance, biology, ecology and control of parasitic weeds of agricultural importance. These include Striga, Orobanche and Cuscuta species, and some related genera, as well as mistletoes. There is an emphasis on problems in less-developed countries and control options for low-resource-base farming systems. The book provides a broad review of relevant literature and is aimed at students, researchers and extension workers involved in weed science, plant biology or crop protection.
