"Herbicides - Environmental Impact Studies and Management Approaches" ed. by Ruben Alvarez-Fernandez

This book blends review chapters with scientific studies, creating an overview of some the current trends in the field of herbicides. Included are environmental studies on their toxicity and impact on natural populations, methods to reduce herbicide inputs and therefore overall non-target toxicity, and the use of bioherbicides as natural alternatives.
