The Nursery and Landscape Weed Control Manual is an excellent reference work that should be in regular use by every landscaper and nurseryman. It was specifically written for use by practitioners in the field and is the only weed control manual specifically for use by landscapers and nurseries. The Nursery and Landscape Weed Control Manual contains concise explanations of the specialized weed control techniques used in nurseries and landscapes, and the appendices allow the user to cross-reference registered herbicides by the weed species to be controlled and species of ornamental plant, making selection of herbicides easy.
The Nursery and Landscape Weed Control Manual provides concise information on each registered herbicide, including its mode of action, behavior in soils, special usage directions, sites registered, and any special information needed to use the herbicide effectively. In addition, it explains an easy way to calibrate an herbicide sprayer and special types of sprayers available for use in landscapes.
The author of Nursery and Landscape Weed Control Manual is Robert P. Rice, Jr., PhD, Professor of Integrated Pest Management in the Horticulture and Crop Science Department at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, California.
