Preface
Evolution of herbicide resistance in weeds has severely impacted the sustainability of weed control systems all across the globe. Pesticide residue in both food and the environment is an important concern of humanity. Further, there has been a demand for organically grown food in various parts of the world. These three facts stress the need for achieving sustainable weed control with methods other than herbicides. Allelopathy is an attractive option to control weeds naturally under field conditions. This book straightforwardly defines the ways of exploiting the allelopathic potential of important field crops for controlling weeds, either in the same crops or other ones. This means that the crops normally grown are exploited for their allelopathic activity to suppress weeds naturally under field conditions. The book highlights the allelopathic potential of several important cereals (wheat, maize, rice, barley, sorghum, rye) and two oilseed crops [sunflower and canola (as well as some other
