Mauvaises herbes des cultures (French edition) by Jean Mamarot & Alain Rodriguez, 4th edition, Acta

The 4th edition of "Weeds of Crops" enriches the collection of technical reference documents published by ACTA for over 40 years. This comprehensive guide presents the essential criteria for recognizing 220 weeds of cultivated soils in France, from the young seedling stage (2 leaves) to the flowering plant stage.

The book takes into account the recent developments in botanical nomenclature, following the work of the 18th session of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (Melbourne, July 2011), effective from January 1, 2012.

Very abundantly illustrated, this guide offers around 450 photographs and nearly 630 detailed drawings. These visual elements, combined with 4 identification keys and 16 discrimination grids of similar species, greatly facilitate the process of identifying weeds. In addition to recognition, the book provides detailed information on the harmfulness, ecology, and distribution of weeds, thereby enhancing understanding of the potential impacts of these plants on crops.

This book aims to provide an appropriate response to current socio-economic, environmental, and regulatory challenges. In a context where sustainable management of weeds has become essential, this book offers producers the essential knowledge to implement effective weed management practices while minimizing their environmental impact.

Mainly designed for farmers, technicians, and students, "Weeds of Crops" remains accessible and useful for anyone wishing to know and identify plants of cultivated fields.
