Bericht

"This revised edition of Herbicides and Plant Physiology is anexcellent addition to the bookshelf of any advisers, researchers oragronomy students. This authoritative, yet readable resource (firstpublished in 1992) delves beneath the surface of herbicide activityto examine a wide range of past and present weed control strategiesand developments from the viewpoint of plant physiology, but alsoprovides a far wider perspective." (Ecclesiastical History, 2011)
