Utilisation of Herbicide Reductant to Improve Weed Control in Oil Palm Plantations

A well considered weed management strategy has to strike a balance in terms of crop and weed competition, crop injury, efficient cost of control measures, impact on the environment, and the need to reduce soil erosion, especially in the tropics with high and intense rainfall Furthermore, weeds must...
