This book is an identification guide for some of the more common weeds in pictorial form with a section on weed management that has tables of herbicides for controlling specific categories of weeds. For easy reference, these weeds are listed under: grasses, sedges, broadleaved plants, ferns, epiphytes, volunteer plants, parasitic plants and aquatic plants. Broadleaved weeds, the most numerous, are subdivided into 5 sections: non-creeping, creeping, legume covers, woody and others.
This book presents an excellent collection of plant photos which will enable those working in plantations to easily identify weeds they find in their estates and to choose the right methods for weed control. It also serves as a reference for managers, planters, agronomists and others working with tropical plantation crops of Southeast Asia. The book also surprises with an index of weed names in Malay and Chinese.
