| Publisher Description: This book explores the most important aspects of the biology, ecology, and management of the world's worst weed. Covering its mode of spread and its impacts upon agricultural production, the environment, and human health, it also reviews management techniques such as biological control, cultural, physical, and chemical approaches. Suitable for researchers of plant ecology and related subjects, it also considers the possible uses of Parthenium weed, its distribution, and the impacts of climate change. |
