Abstract

A survey showed weed scientists agree that basic agronomy, crop production and plant-oriented courses are essential in weed science education. Although there was no consensus on the structure of a core curriculum or even on whether one was needed, they agreed that curricula must be constructed to fit student interests, goals, and abilities.
