Abstract

Weeds are wonderous creations of nature – weedy type plants not only survived but over time have evolved miraculous adaptations to all the control methods we humans have exposed them to. Our battle against weeds has seen success and failure. Agricultural technology swayed the battle in our favour with the advent of synthetic herbicides from the 1940s.
