The Weed Research Journal
Weed Research is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes topical and innovative papers on all aspects of weeds, defined as plants that impact adversely on economic, aesthetic or environmental aspects of any system. Topics include: Weed biology and control, Herbicides, Invasive plant species in all environments, Population and spatial biology, Modelling, Genetics, Diversity and Parasites. The journal welcomes submissions on work carried out in any part of the world. In addition to research papers, the journal seeks review articles and shorter insights papers covering personal views, new methods and breaking news in weed science.
What can the EWRS do for you?
Farmers
Although the Society is driven by researchers from public institutions and private companies, the EWRS is aware of the key role it should play in connecting researchers to the farming community.
Research
Are you a researcher interested in weeds, defined as plants that impact adversely on economic, aesthetic or environmental aspects of any system? The EWRS offers a wonderful international network of weed scientists from Europe and all over the world.
Policy Makers
Weed management strategies are not only a technical solution for a problem that creates economic damage to farmers. The research direction we take is strongly determined by the policies put in place by policy makers at all levels.
