Weed-ecological approaches to allelopathy

  • Chapter
Biology and ecology of weeds

Part of the book series: Geobotany ((GEOB,volume 2))

Abstract

The term ‘allelopathy’ was originally proposed by Molisch (1937). ‘Autopathy’ is intraspecific chemical coaction while ‘allelopathy’ is interspecific chemical coaction according to Tischler (1975). However, the term ‘allelopathy’ usually includes interspecific (antibiotic) and intraspecific (autotoxic) chemical coactions (Bonner 1950).
