Weeds are the cause of great losses to crop production in the tropics and grassy weeds present a particular problem because of their similarity to cereal crop plants. It is therefore difficult to devise control methods and management practices appropriate for such weeds. This book reviews our current knowledge of this subject and is the outcome of a workshop on integrated control of grassy weeds in tropical subsistence farming systems, held in Nairobi in February 1990. The workshop was organised by CASAFA (Commission on the Application of Science to Agriculture, Forestry and Aquaculture) of the International Council of Scientific Unions. The contents include a general review of grassy weeds, their physiology in tropical agriculture, management by biological and chemical control, integrated weed management, control in tropical cereals, in tropical grasslands and forage crops, in mixed crops and in upland rice, and overviews of grassy weeds in Kenya, the Phillipines and Australia.
