Dr. Price is a native of East Tennessee, U.S.A. and received both B.S. and M.S. degrees from The University of Tennessee majoring in Plant and Soil Sciences and Ph.D. from North Carolina State University majoring in Crop Science. Dr. Price's primary responsibilities in the Conservation Systems Research group are to conduct research addressing the impact of integrated weed

management strategies on weed populations/competitiveness in conservation systems as well as development of cost-effective and environmentally friendly weed management systems integrating conservation tillage, crop rotations, cover crops and weed management systems. http://www.ag.auburn.edu/agrn/faculty/Price/index.php

Jessica Kelton is a Research Associate with Auburn University at the Wiregrass Research and Extension Center in Headland, Alabama, U.S.A. Mrs. Kelton earned her M.S. degree from Auburn University in Agronomy and Soils with a concentration in Weed Science. As a Research Associate, she primarily works in conservation systems, particularly focused on implementation of high

Preface

Herbicide use has dramatically increased since the introduction of the first selective herbicides deca‐ des ago. Utilization of herbicides for weed control is a crucial aspect of weed management in most crop productions, aquatic systems with invasive weed species, pastures, and non-crop areas such as turf and natural areas. The dynamic nature of weed populations, both in crop and non-crop systems, necessitates continuous adaptations and revisions to weed management strategies in order to ensure effective control of problematic weed species. Furthermore, continuous work is required to detail suc‐ cessful means of integrating innovative weed control tactics into existing management systems.

In recent years, a shift from single weed management practices to multiple, integrated control meth‐ ods has been the focus for most agricultural and non-agricultural settings. These management practi‐ ces utilize a number of chemical, mechanical, and biological tools to provide adequate weed control while preserving the efficacy of individual control options and maintaining environmental quality. The value of herbicides in integrated weed management is considerable; however, the overdepend‐ ence on a single herbicide for weed control can lead to reduced efficacy, herbicide resistance, and potential environmental contamination. Due to these potential risks from herbicide overuse, integrat‐ ed weed management has become the recommended practice for weed control in most systems.

In this book, chapters explore a wide array of weed control topics in many agricultural and noncrop systems. Authors provide information regarding current weed management practices and po‐ tential strategies for future weed control plans. Many chapters focus on the use of integrated control tactics, while other chapters describe individual management practices that can be implemented in‐ to existing weed management plans. Topics covered in this book include: integrated weed manage‐ ment in agricultural crops and rangelands, allelopathy and bioherbicides, transgenic crops and

The trends and case studies detailed in **Herbicides - Current Research and Case Studies in Use** provide a great deal of information concerning herbicide use in a number of settings. In this regard, the book should be of great benefit to many people that are involved in weed management plan development, herbicide resistance control, education, and technology transfer. It is anticipated that this book will be a useful reference in regards to current herbicide use trends and weed manage‐
