Technology is rapidly advancing in all areas of society, including
agriculture. In both conventional and organic systems, there is a need
to apply technology beyond our current approach to improve the
efficiency and economics of management. Weeds, in particular, have
been part of cropping systems for centuries often being ranked as the
number one production cost. Now, public demand for a sustainably grown
product has created economic incentives for producers to improve their
practices, yet the development of advanced weed control tools beyond
biotech has lagged behind. An opportunity has been created for
engineers and weed scientists to pool their knowledge and work
together to ‘fill the gap’ in managing weeds in crops. Never
before has there been such pressure to produce more with less in order
to sustain our economies and environments. This book is the first to
provide a radically new approach to weed management that could change
cropping systems both now and in the future.
