Weeds constitute the largest biotic threat affecting the yield of cultivated plants. While conventional agriculture relies principally on chemicals for weed control, alternative biological methods may be important tools to reduce weed pressure in agroecosystems. Furthermore, as the problem of excessive residue of plant protection agents in agroecosystems and the growing number of herbicide resistant weed biotypes continue to increase, new solutions that have smaller impacts on the environment are becoming increasingly desirable. One promising such method is the use of crops that exert a negative phytotoxic influence on weeds. This natural phenomenon describing the ability of certain plant species to produce compounds that affect the growth of other plants in their surroundings is called allelopathy. Managing weed infestations in cultivated fields by planting allelopathic crops is a sustainable, economic, and environmentally friendly approach that has been strongly articulated in the international arena. Among cultivated crops, sorghum (Sorghum bicolor(L.) Moench) has been intensively studied because of demonstrated allelopathic potential. |
