An examination of plant ecological principles governing weed population dynamics and weed-crop competitive interactions in different crop and noncrop ecosystems. Application of these fundamentals for the development and implementation of environmentally sound and sustainable integrated weed management strategies is explored. Topics include seed biology and seedbank dynamics, weed demography and spatial variation, weed-crop interferences, bio-economic weed thresholds, and site-specific weed management.
