International research has now explored the potential, limitations and impacts of non-chemical alternatives and the effect of different strategies on the entire agro- or natural ecosystem. Through the re-evaluation of techniques previously considered uneconomical or impractical, this text provides a comprehensive examination of non-chemical weed management UR - https://cabi-prod.literatumonline.com/action/showBook?doi=10.1079%2F9781845932909.0000 ER -
