Special Issue on Weed Research

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. For weed control, herbicides which can kill specific targets, while leaving the desired crop relatively unharmed are widely used in agriculture, while considering its residual and side effect, proper utilization of herbicides and environment-friendly methods for weed control are still in the research. Nevertheless, a number of weeds, such as the dandelion (Taraxacum), are edible, and their leaves or roots 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 Weed Research. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
