Synopsis (short abstract) In 1984 FAO published Weed management for developing countries, to make available the most relevant information on weed management. As there have been several developments in weed management, FAO has updates the available information in this new publications on improved weed management. The paper comprises three chapters that contain valuable information in weed bioecology, problem weeds and details of various control strategies. Weed management should match the specific problems in a field and. therefore, some basic knowledge of weed bioecology is needed to manage weed infestation correctly in the field. The first chapter of the book describes the protocol for assessing the weed seed bank and illustrates the basics of weed competition. It also introduces the topic of weed risk assessment and provides guidelines for countries to strenghten their own quarantine protocols. The second chapter covers some troublesome weed problems in different areas, including water hyacinth. The final cha pter is devoted to teh presentation and discussion of various control strategies for improved weed management. Although no information is given about new herbicide molecules, herbicide resistance and ways to manage it, as well as the risks and benefits of using transgenic herbicide-resistant crops, are well covered.

The noxious incidence of undesirable plants, also known as weeds, is one of the major constraints to world agricultural production. Weeds are plants that under certain conditions cause economic and social harm to the farmers. In the agro-ecological context, weeds are a product of the inter-specific selection brought about by humans since they began cropping, which affected the soil and the whole habitat. The process of selection is continuous and depends on the practices adopted by t he farmer.

全球农产品和粮食产品贸易已在最近几十年取得快速增长，各国作为出口或进口方越来越多地参与这一贸易进程。这种趋势预计将在今后几十年中持续。因此，贸易将在全球各区域对粮食安全的程度和性质产生越来越重要的影响。我们面临的挑战就是确保农产品贸易的扩大能对消除饥饿、粮食不安全和营养不良起到促进作用，而不是阻碍作用。本版《农产品市场状况》旨在缓解目前各方在农产品贸易对粮食安全产生的影响以及如何管理农产品贸易以确保贸易开放度的增加能惠及所有国家等问题上出现的观点两极分化现象。本书通过就一系列话题举证和说明，努力促成各方就政策选择开展有实证依据的辩论，并在政策选择过程中努力实现必要的改进。
