Plant-Plant Allelopathic Interactions

Phenolic Acids, Cover Crops and Weed Emergence

Authors:

  • In-depth analysis of phenolic acids in laboratory seedling-microbe-soil model systems and no-till field systems
  • A blue print of how or how not to study plant-plant allelopathic interactions
  • The application of the Scientific Method to the research of plant-plant allelopathic interactions
  • Extensive listing of if-then hypotheses for plant-plant allelopathic interactions
  • Listing of cons and pros for the effects of phenolic acids on broadleaf weed emergence in wheat no-till systems
  • A discussion of past, present, and future paradigms for studying plant-plant allelopathic interactions
  • Updated criteria for identifying plant-plant allelopathic interactions in nature
  • Listing of potential tools for studying plant-plant allelopathic interactions within the framework of a “holistic paradigm”

About this book

In an effort to implement conservation measures farmers have used a variety of production methods, including the use of reduced or zero tillage and cover crops. One benefit of these production methods has been early season weed control. The literature suggests that a variety of mechanisms may be involved, among them the allelopathic effects of phenolic acids. This retrospective analysis addresses the following: How likely are phenolic acid concentrations and environmental conditions in wheat no-till cropping systems for the inhibition of annual broadleaf weed emergence? and Do phenolic acids have a dominant role or are they just one component of a larger promoter/modifier/inhibitor complex? The book covers allelopathic plant-plant interactions, laboratory and field experiments, and future research. It uses a journal format, provides justifications for procedures used, if-then hypotheses, and cons and pros so that readers can reach their own conclusions.
