Direct competition for resources is generally considered the primary mechanism for weed-
induced yield loss. A re-evaluation of physiological evidence suggests weeds initially impact …

Weeds are known to cause enormous losses due to their interference in agroecosystems.
Because of environmental and human health concerns, worldwide efforts are being made to …

Many cereals accumulate hydroxamic acids derived from 2-hydroxy-2 H-1, 4-benzoxazin-3
(4 H)-one. These benzoxazinoid hydroxamic acids are involved in defense of maize against …

The capability of synthetic pesticides to manage weeds, insect pests and pathogens in crops
has diminished due to evolved resistance. Sustainable management is thus becoming more …

Over the past decades, a growing interest in allelopathy has been recorded due to the
effective use of allelochemicals as growth regulators, bioherbicides, insecticides, and …

The Poaceae family has been reported in several published works to show evidence of
allelopathic activity. Secondary metabolites as phenolic compounds, hydroxamic acids …

Allelopathy is one of the factors that determine interactions among plants. Allelochemicals
have been found in many forest ecosystems, but the importance of allelopathy depends on …

“Although weeds constitute only a very small part of earth's land plants, they are one of the
problematic groups of existing plants competing mainly with crops in agroecosystems and …

Benzoxazinoids are specialized metabolites that are highly abundant in staple crops, such
as maize and wheat. Although their biosynthesis has been studied for several decades, the …

The contents of allelochemicals in living plants, and their fate and dynamics in environment
are an important aspect in the study of allelopathy. A mechanistic model developed …
