Herbicides Chemistry

Volume 3: Conveniently gathering up-to-date information on herbicides' chemistry, degradation, and mode of action in one source, this reference discusses glyphosatc and the traits that have made it so successful ... investigates the adsorption of polycyclic alkanoic acids' ester into targeted plants ... documents sulfonylureas' selectivity, environmental compatibility, groundwater safety, and low use rate ... explains metribuzin's combination with other herbicides to increase weed control for soybeans, potatoes, and tomatoes ... and examines alachlor and metolachlor for controlling annual grasses, broadleaf weeds, yellow nutscdge in corn, soybeans, and many other crops. Extensively referenced and illustrated, Herbicides, Volume 3 is an outstanding reference for soil scientists, agronomists, microbiologists, biochemists, agricultural chemists, botanists, environmental scientists, and plant nutritionists and pathologists.
