Agroecological Management of Weeds – Minimizing Chemical Herbicides in Arable Cropping
Weeds have a strong impact on arable production, causing yield quantity and quality losses. Adequately controlling them is fundamental in arable cropping. However, weeds develop strategies to survive control. For decades, the dominating method to manage weeds was the use of chemical herbicides. Weeds becoming resistant against these chemical herbicides is an obvious and global reaction; together with undesired environmental consequences, this creates increasing pressure to overcome chemical herbicide use. Therefore, foreseeing weed management demands exploiting and evaluating novel methods to replace them. Since each single method will probably be less effective than chemical herbicides, systematic integration and upscaling on levels like fields, farms, cropping systems, landscapes and socio-economics is required in research. Agro-ecological management of weeds stands for this ambition.

Biology and Management of Problematic Crop Weed Species
Weeds are the main biological constraint to crop production throughout the year. Uncontrolled weeds could cause 100% yield loss. In Australia, the overall cost of weeds to Australian grain growers was estimated at AU$ 3.3 billion annually. In terms of yield losses, weeds amounted to 2.7 million tonnes of grains at a national level. In the USA, weeds cost US$ 33 billion in lost crop production annually. In India, these costs were estimated to be much higher (US$ 11 billion). These studies from different economies suggest that weeds cause substantial yield and economic loss. Biology and Management of Problematic Weed Species details the biology of key weed species, providing vital information ...
Thermoplastic Polymer Composites
THERMOPLASTIC POLYMER COMPOSITES The monograph represents a life-long career in industry and academia and creates an exhaustive and comprehensive narrative that gives a complete understanding of important and state-of-the-art aspects of polymer composites including processing, properties, performance, applications & recyclability. Based on 40 years’ experience in both industry and academia, the author’s goal is to make a comprehensive and up-to-date account that gives a complete understanding of various aspects of polymer composites covering processing, properties, performance, applications & recyclability. Divided into 8 main chapters, the book treats thermoplastics vs. thermosets and t...

Thermal Conductivity 15
Once again, it gives me a great pleasure to pen the Foreword to the Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Thermal Conductivity. As in the past, these now biannual conferences pro vide a broadly based forum for those researchers actively working on this important property of matter to convene on a regular basis to exchange their experiences and report their findings. As it is apparent from the Table of Contents, the 15th Conference represents perhaps the broadest coverage of subject areas to date. This is indicative of the times as the boundaries between disciplines be come increasingly diffused. I am sure the time has come when Con ference Chairmen in coming years will be solic...
