Plants and alien weeds of South Africa, this title became a guide
for anyone interested in knowing how to recognise, understand and
control troublesome plants. The title covers more than 500 species
of problem plants in detail, with descriptive and interesting text,
highlighting the origin and environmental impact of each species as
well as methods of control. There are over 700 colour photographs
to assist with identification and to illustrate the problematic
nature of the plants. Up-to-date distribution maps show the range
of each plant, while a series of icons offers an easy overview of
the pest status of a plant and how it is covered by government
regulations, herbicide registration and biological control.
Introductory chapters explain aspects of undesirable vegetation
such as bush encroachment and veld degradation, as well as chemical
and biological control techniques and the threat posed by
ornamental garden plants. An innovative 'identification key' helps
even the non-botanist to find and identify a particular species.
