The scientific monograph "Allelopathy" is one of the first monographs of its kind aimed at studying the impact of allelochemicals on the surrounding flora, the biotic stress caused by their action, as well as the mechanisms through which they exert their effects. The book provides a comprehensive insight into the modern knowledge of the process of allelopathy through a presentation of various interactions between weeds and crops, and vice versa. In addition to an extensive review of the relevant literature, the monograph also provides original experimental results resulting from the author's research.The main goal of this publication is to bring closer the importance of allelopathy in order to obtain a true picture of the comprehensive ecological role in which allelopathy can be of great importance in agricultural practice. Various types of biochemical interactions between weeds and crops indicate that allelopathy can serve as a useful alternative in the fight against weeds as a natural herbicide in agricultural crops.
Also, the monograph is of exceptional importance in agricultural practice because it provides very important data on the practical application of allelopathy in weed control in agricultural systems. The monograph contains the latest data from the field of allelopathy research and will serve as an invaluable source of information for researchers, teachers and advanced students in the field of plant physiology, agriculture, ecology, and environmental science. In addition, the monograph is important for all agronomists who deal with plant production.
