Abstract

The first weed scientists were under great pressure to solve weed problems and when the magic of chemical technology appeared they seized it to replace human and animal energy for weeding. Today, weed scientists are striving for a reasonable accommodation between a productive and protected environment. Many weed scientists now believe that management, not control, should dominate weed science. Full integration of weed science into future agricultural systems requires that its practitioners make the quality and quantity of food produced equivalent goals.
