PowerPoint presentation

    The program Weed Identification, Biology and Management was originally developed for use by students in the Weed Biology and Control undergraduate course at McGill University to assist them to gain knowledge of, and to recognize important agricultural, environmental and urban weeds. Over 100 weed species are treated in this two-volume set CD. These CDs are designed to complement living plant material, herbarium specimens and lecture notes. Information on nomenclature, distribution, habitats, morphology, life history, biology, and management options are provided for each weed species. With the click of a button, detailed, high quality photographs of the seed, seedling, juvenile plant, flowering plant, flower close-up, in situ field and special features accompany each weed entry. The weed species are arranged alphabetically by Latin name (Genus and species). Weeds from A to L are in Volume 1, while weeds from M to Z are in Volume 2. Weeds are also indexed by plant family, by common name, and by attributes including flower color, seedling morphology and a vegetative key for common grass weeds. An illustrated glossary aid the user to understand technical terms and a Reference and Selected Readings section provides additional sources of information. We hope this CD package helps you learn more about the often strikingly beautiful plants, which at times interfere with our activities.

If you are interested in purchasing the program, but not sure if it is for you click, here for the Powerpoint presentation. Note that the size of the file is approximately 3Mb and therefore it might take a while to download it. Please be patient. Also, because of the large size of the individual digital weed images, they are not displayed in the Powerpoint presentation.
