"This book provides a comprehensive study and discussion about ecologically based weed management practices for sustainable agriculture. ... The editors have provided a roadmap regarding ecologically based weed management for sustainable agriculture. This book would be useful to the researchers, scientists, policy makers and students working on different aspects of weeds." (Rajani Srivastava, Current Science, Vol. 110 (1), January, 2016) "The advances chronicled in this volume's 17 chapters demonstrate extensive progress in understanding how microevolutionary forces operate in changing landscapes, changes initially triggered by the introduction and then extensive use of herbicides in weed management. ... this book also heralds an opportunity for this community of scientists to work more closely together to meet this common goal. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above." (M. K. Harris, Choice, Vol. 52 (7), March, 2015)
