Weed Biology and Management

Aims & Scope

Weed Biology and Management is an international journal, published four times per year.

The journal accepts contributions in the form of original research and review articles in all aspects of weed science.

Contributions from weed scientists in the Asia–Pacific region are particularly welcomed.

The content of the contributions may relate to weed taxonomy, ecology and physiology, weed management and control methodologies, herbicide behaviors in plants, soils and environment, utilization of weeds and other aspects of weed science.

All contributions must be of sufficient quality to extend our knowledge in weed science.
