Weed Management Handbook
Ninth Edition, Edited by Robert E. L. Naylor
By Robert E. L. Naylor
Dr. Steven Moss is the author of the 11th chapter "Herbicide-Resistant Weeds". This chapter is a great resource for anyone interested in herbicide-resistant weeds. Dr. Moss covers all aspects of resistance, including:
- Occurrence and distribution of resistance
- Agronomic factors influencing the development of resistance
- Resistance mechanisms
- Cross-resistance patterns
- Evolution of resistance
- and the Prevention and management of herbicide resistance.
Dr. Moss is a leading authority on herbicide resistance and I highly recommend this chapter

Below is more information about the book that has been
provided by Blackwell Publishing.
Weed Management Handbook updates the 8th
edition of Weed Control Handbook (1990). The change in the
title and contents of the book from previous editions
reflects both the current emphasis on producing crops in a
sustainable and environmentally-friendly manner, and the
new weed management challenges presenting themselves.
This landmark publication contains cutting edge chapters,
each written by acknowledged experts in their fields and
carefully drawn together and edited by Professor Robert
Naylor, known and respected world-wide for his knowledge
of the area. The sequence of chapters included reflects a
progression from the biology of weeds, through the
underpinning science and technology relating to weed
management techniques including herbicides and their
application to crops, leading to principles of weed
management techniques. Finally a set of relevant case
studies describes the main management options available
and addresses the challenges of reduced chemical options
in many crops.
Weed Management Handbook is a vital tool for all
those involved in the crop protection / agrochemical
industry, including business managers, horticultural and
agricultural scientists, plant physiologists, botanists
and those studying and teaching BASIS courses. As an
important reference guide for undergraduate and
postgraduate students studying horticultural and
agricultural sciences, plant physiology, botany and crop
protection, copies of the book should be available on the
shelves of all research establishments and universities
where these subjects are studied and taught.
Weed Management Handbook is published for the
British Crop Protection Council (BCPC) by Blackwell
Publishing.
Professor Robert E. L. Naylor is a consultant in
agriculture, environment and crop protection, based in
Banchory, Scotland, UK.

Herbicide Resistance and World Grains evaluates the weed and herbicide management systems in major world grain crops such as soybean, maize, rice, and canola. This book provides the how-tos of managing herbicide resistant weed populations in the major grain crops. Herbicide Resistance and World Grains contains practical solutions that can be used by researchers and practitioners alike.
