Special Issue on Weeds

Weeds are a class of grass or plants which are unwanted or even harmful especially for farm fields. Weeds may be unwanted for a number of reasons. An important one is that they interfere with crops in agriculture, where in they must be controlled in order to prevent lost or diminished crop yields. Nevertheless, a number of weeds may be used for food or herbal medicine, and some weeds also possess valuable status in ecological environment.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring weeds. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Characteristics and species of weeds
