Research on the Allelopathy in Agriculture
Majorly, the current research on allelopathy in agriculture revolves around the following points:
- Application of the known allelopathic effects on agricultural production
- Its impact on decreasing the chemical pesticides’ intake
- Contribution of allelopathy to reducing the environmental pollution
- Assessing the advantages and disadvantages of allelopathy on the sustainable development of agricultural production and ecological systems.
- The effective use of the plant allelopathy to increase crop productivity and ecological sustainability through eco-friendly weed suppression, insect pests, and plant diseases, conservation of nitrogen in croplands, and the production of novel agrochemicals based on allelochemicals has drawn significant interest from scientists working on allelopathic research.
Allelopathy and its Role in Agriculture
Allelopathy and its Role in Agriculture: Allelopathy is a biological phenomenon where certain plants release chemicals into the environment, affecting the growth and development of neighboring plants, either inhibiting or promoting their growth. Allelochemicals possess the capacity to either facilitate or hinder the germination and growth of plants, enabling the cultivation of crops with minimal phytotoxic residues in both water and soil.
