Описание книги

HERBICIDES AND PLANT PHYSIOLOGY Discover the latest developments in herbicide and weed biology In the newly revised Third Edition of Herbicides and Plant Physiology, distinguished researcher Professor Dr. Andrew H. Cobb delivers an insightful and comprehensive examination of the interaction between herbicides and plant physiology. The book discusses many of the advances in plant physiology, utilizing data from the Arabidopsis genome, and gene editing techniques that have occurred in the last dozen years. This latest edition includes a variety of new and recent references addressing the latest developments in plant research. In addition to a complete introduction to weed biology, the book discusses the modern plant protection industry and the processes by which herbicides are discovered and developed. Readers will find discussions of new targets for the future development of new herbicides, as well as the mechanisms by which modern herbicides interact with plants and achieve their weed control objectives. The book also offers: Thorough introductions to weed biology, the modern plant protection products industry, and how herbicides are discovered and developed Comprehensive explorations of how herbicides gain entry into the plant and move to their sites of action, as well as the basis of herbicide selectivity Practical discussions of how herbicides interact with the major physiological processes in plants and accomplish weed control, including the inhibition of photosynthesis, pigment biosynthesis, and more Reviews recent developments following the use of genetically modified-herbicide resistant crops Perfect for plant biologists and agricultural scientists, this latest edition of Herbicides and Plant Physiology is an indispensable resource for anyone seeking a comprehensive and robust treatment of the latest advances in plant physiology and herbicide action.

Although the seed production figures of an individual plant are impressive (Table 1.9), the total seed population in a given area is of greater significance. The soil seed reservoir reflects both past and present seed production, in addition to those imported from elsewhere, and is reduced by germination, senescence and the activity of herbivores (Figure 1.3). Estimates of up to 100,000 viable seeds per square metre of arable soil represent a massive competition potential to both existing and succeeding crops, especially since the seed rate for spring barley, for instance, is only approximately 400 m−2! Under long term grassland, weed seed numbers in soil are in the region of 15,000–20,000 m−2, so conversion of arable land to long‐term grassland offers growers a means of reducing soil weed‐seed burden.

The length of time that seeds of individual species of weed remain viable in soil varies considerably. The nature of the research involved in collecting such data means that few comprehensive studies have been carried out, but those that have (see Toole and Brown, 1946, for a 39 year study!) show that although seeds of many species are viable for less than a decade, some species can survive for in excess of 80 years (examples include poppy and fat hen). Evidence from soils collected during archaeological excavations reveals seeds of certain species germinating after burial for 100–600 (and maybe even up to 1700!) years (Ødum, 1965).
