About WSSROC
Taiwan is located in the subtropics, characterized by high temperatures and high humidity. The diversity of weeds is exceptionally complex, surpassing that of other regions. As a result, the study and application of weed science have become increasingly significant. The Weed Science Society of the Republic of China (Taiwan) was founded by Professor Chen Yu-lin in 1978. Throughout its history, Professor Chen and subsequent directors, supervisors, and staff have made significant contributions to the development and advancement of the society. WSSROC is a non-profit professional society which promotes research, education, and outreach extension activities related to weeds.Through coordination, promotion, and networking, the society has established a solid foundation, greatly contributing to the research of weed science and the improvement of weed control methods in Taiwan.
