Wfed Management in Horticultural 

 Crops, "a practical guide to hands-on 

 weed management techniques and 

 procedures, will help horticul- 

 turalists, extension agents, farmers, 

 nursery operators, landscapers, and 

 gardeners fight back against wide- 

 spread weed problems." 



Published by the ASHS Press (a 

 subsidiary of the American Society for 

 Horticultural Science) and edited by 

 Milton McGiffen, jr. (University of 

 California, Riverside) from the pro- 

 ceedings of a joint ASHS and the

 workshop held in February, 1997, the 

 book discusses management methods 

 in horticultural crops — vegetable, tree 

 fruit, landscape, nursery, turf, as well 



as management techniques ranging 

 from organic to chemical. To ensure 

 breadth, most chapters are authored 

 by scientists from several regions of 

 the country
