Weed Research publishes topical and innovative papers on all aspects of weeds - weeds being defined as plants that adversely impact the economic, aesthetic, or environmental aspects of a system.
Our topics include weed biology and ecology, integrated weed management, herbicide resistance, invasive species, genetics and genomics, and novel weed control technology. We welcome submissions on work carried out in any part of the world. We are the official journal of the European Weed Research Society.
