-
Considers how weed management can be optimised in an array of different production systems, including perennial Conservation Agriculture (CA) systems and organic CA systems
-
Provides a comprehensive overview of the recent research on the use of cultural and physical weed management techniques in CA systems, such as the use of allelopathy, cover crops and mechanical weeding
-
Reviews the range of chemical and biological weed management techniques available to CA farmers, including the use of bioherbicides and other emerging methods of biological control
