  • 788 Accesses

Abstract

This chapter describes in some detail a number of standard (common or classical) laboratory screening bioassays for identifying putative allelopathic plants and sensitive species. These include bioassays for the following: identified putative allelopathic compounds, leachates, “root exudates plus”, litter and residues, and soils. The procedures of each bioassay have been adjusted, where possible, to be consistent with the tenets of Chap. 3. Comments regarding potential benefits and limitations of these bioassays are also provided throughout the chapter.
