Abstract
One of the papers published in Weed Technology as a follow-up to the 1993 symposium (Zimdahl 1994) suggested that weed scientists should come to “a reasonable accommodation between a productive and protected environment.” Five ideas about weed science were briefly explored.
But you who seek to give and merit Fame, And justly bear a Critick’s noble Name, Be sure your self and your own Reach to know. How far your Genius, Taste, and Learning go; Launch not beyond your Depth, but be discreet, And mark that Point where Sense and Dulness meet.
An Essay on Criticism, Part 1
Alexander Pope, 1709
