Objective
To provide detailed information in an environment that stimulates student engagement, in the following topics: mechanisms of seed dispersion and dormancy in weeds. Weed competiton and allelopathy. Integrated weed management. Mechanisms of herbicide penetration in leaves, and factors involved. Surfactants and herbicide uptake. Aspects of mobility and degradation of herbicides in the soil. Herbicides and soil microorganisms. Herbicide selectivity. Herbicide modes of action. Herbicide application equipment. Herbicide resistance in weeds and herbicide tolerance in OGM crops. Herbicide toxicology. Herbicide persistence in soil and plants. Mechanisms of herbicide adsorption in the soil. Biological control of weeds.
