The book explores innovative conservation practices adopted by farmers, particularly focusing on reduced or zero tillage methods. It highlights the rise of small grain and legume cover crops, which have proven effective for early season weed control, especially against annual broadleaf weeds in temperate regions. The text delves into the mechanisms behind this success, emphasizing the role of allelopathic effects from phenolic acids in regulating weed seedling emergence.
