The book contains control options, both non-chemical and chemical, in full write-ups for nearly 242 species, with non-chemical and chemical options in a susceptibility table for a little under 100 additional species. Information is also provided on the variety of control techniques and equipment used in natural areas, as well as safety and environmental considerations, herbicide characteristics, rainfast periods and grazing and haying restrictions for terrestrial herbicides, a list of species with biological control agents either available or under development, and helpful conversion tables.
