Allelopathy in the search for natural herbicide models
1995
Macias, F.A.
The existence of allelopathy has been well documented during the past few decades on natural as well as in agroecosystems. The potentiality that allelopathy can offer useful clues in the search of new natural herbicide models, more specific and less harmful than those synthetic, at present used in agriculture is discussed. Three different strategies are presented considering allelopathic studies on natural ecosystems, agroecosystems and natural product models as natural herbicides with applications in agronomical important crops such as barley, oat, wheat, grapes, etc. The bioactivity levels of the present synthetic herbicides and those of several allelochemicals reported in the literature are compared and discussed.
