Target Sites for Herbicide Action

Target Sites for Herbicide Action edited by R. Kirkwood.

The development of chemicals to selectively control the growth of weeds has been a fascinating success story which has unfolded largely during the last four decades. The dramatic growth of herbicide research that followed the wartime discoveries of the auxin-type herbicides (phenoxyalkanoic acids) r...
