Description

Plants of different species vary in the way they collect, transport and metabolize "foreign" chemicals, and this offers the possibility of selective herbicides or weed-killers. The study examines those aspects of plant physiology, principally in crop plants, which can be affected by herbicides. The book also discusses the possibilities that are offered by recombinant DNA technology for developing resistance to herbicides in crop plants, and methods for exploiting or preventing acquired tolerance. The author reviews recent work on mycoherbicides and the possibilities for using allelochemicals - chemicals released by one plant species - for controlling the growth of others.Table of ContentWeed populations and their control; aspects of plant physiology; herbicide metabolism in plants; genetic resistance to herbicides; improved resistance through genetic engineering; mycoherbicides; allelochemicals as herbicides. Appendix: herbicide usage.
