Plant-Plant Allelopathic Interactions

Abstract

This chapter provides a definition of allelopathy, processes included and excluded from plant–plant allelopathic interactions, criteria needed to establish plant–plant allelopathic interactions, application of the Scientific Method, use of laboratory and field bioassays, and a short paragraph on the subject matter of the rest of the book.
