Herbicides Inhibiting Branched-chain Amino Acid Biosynthesis: Recent Developments (chemistry Of Plant Protection)

Chemicals inhibiting the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids form a new and promising class of herbicides. This volume discusses in an authoritative way recent developments in this field and covers important aspects of these potent herbicides (synthesis, structure-activity, mode of action, selectivity, weed resistance, metabolism).
