Plant–Plant Allelopathic Interaction. Phase II: Field/Laboratory Experiments

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Plant-Plant Allelopathic Interactions

Abstract

This chapter describes the underlying criteria and assumption in the development and execution of field and associated laboratory bioassays. It provides details and commentary regarding the materials and methods used. More specifically, describes how glyphosate-desiccated wheat and other cover crops (crimson clover, subterranean clover, and rye) in no-till systems can directly and indirectly influence morningglory, pigweed, and prickly sida seedling emergence, with emphasis on the role of phenolic acids in plant residues and soil.
