Advances in Plant Allelopathy

Plant allelopathy is one of the modes of interaction between receptor and donor plants and may exert either positive effects (e.g., for agricultural management, such as weed control, crop protection, or crop re-establishment) or negative effects (e.g., autotoxicity, soil sickness, or biological invasion). To ensure sustainable agricultural development, it is important to exploit cultivation systems that take advantage of the stimulatory/inhibitory influence of allelopathic plants to regulate plant growth and development and to avoid allelopathic autotoxicity. The book covers the latest developments in allelopathy research with a special emphasis on its application in sustainable agriculture. Botanists, horticulturists, biologists, and agriculturists will find the book a good reference book.
