Perennial Weeds: Characteristics and Identification of Selected Herbaceous Species

A ONE–OF–A–KIND reference and text supplement, Perennial Weeds: Characteristics and Identification of Selected Herbaceous Species is exclusively concerned with perennial weeds, both grasses and broadleafs.
The text includes the following:

Introductions to each weed that contain distinguishing features, spread, overwintering, and control
Well–illustrated line drawings and photos clearly identifying the weeds and their plant parts
Maps showing distribution levels of infestation in the United States
Extensive glossary of botanical terms used in the text
Tables that group plants by characteristics and means of propagation
Perennial Weeds is an excellent supplement for weed science courses and a useful reference for owners and managers of agricultural land, parks, golf courses, and home gardens and yards.
