Fundamentals of Weed Science, Sixth Edition, places weed management in the context of weed research and science, presenting the latest advances in the role, control, and potential uses of weed plants. This book uses an ecological framework to explore the role of responsible and effective weed control in agriculture from the emergence and genetic foundation of weeds to the latest means of control and environmental effects. Fully revised, updated, and expanded, Fundamentals of Weed Science now includes insights into international trad eand consumer preferences, weed seedbanks, advancements in robotic weeding, weed flaming, and the potential of precision agriculture in weed science.

Dr. Basinger is an assistant professor of Weed Science at the University of Georgia in the Department of Crop and Soil Science. He received both his Masters and PhD from North Carolina State University in Weed Science. Dr. Basinger’s research focus is on the alteration and manipulation of the agroecosystem to reduce the impacts of weeds. He also is devoted to Integrated Weed Management (IWM) as a means to manage weeds, minimize potential for herbicide resistance, and improve productivity of desirable crops in crop and non-crop systems. Dr. Basinger is responsible for teaching several weed science courses at the University of Georgia. He is an active member of the Southern Weed Science Society and the Weed Science Society of America, is a board member on the Southern Cover Crops Council, and a member of the Getting Rid of Weeds (GROW) Initiative.
