Early recognition and control of weeds invariably leads to considerable
savings in the cost of herbicides used on crops and in gardens. This
atlas is an indispensable full colour photographic guide to the 40
most common weeds afflicting arable farmland and gardens. The weeds
have all been photographed at cotyledon and seedling stage to permit
early identification and control. Accompanying line drawings highlight
major features and calendar germination and flowering times.
