The tremendous increase in crop yields associated with the 'green'revolution has been
possible in part by the discovery and utilization of chemicals for pest control. However …

Weeds constitute the largest biotic threat affecting the yield of cultivated plants. While
conventional agriculture relies principally on chemicals for weed control, alternative …

Aims The ability to suppress soil nitrification through the release of nitrification inhibitors from
plant roots is termed 'biological nitrification inhibition'(BNI). Here, we aimed at the …

Sorgoleone, a major component of the hydrophobic root exudate of sorghum [Sorghum
bicolor (L.) Moench], is one of the most studied allelochemicals. The exudate also contains …

The oily droplets exuded from the root hairs of sorghum are composed of a 1: 1 ratio of
sorgoleone and its lipid resorcinol analogue. The production of these droplets appears to be …

Sorgoleone is the major component of the hydrophobic root exudate of sorghum [Sorghum
bicolor (L.) Moench]. The presence of this allelochemical is intrinsically linked to root growth …

The promising allelopathic potential of sorghum [Sorghum bicolor L.(Moench)] opens a
fruitful area of research to exploit this phenomenon in weed control and regulation of …

Traditional methods of weeds management have caused serious environmental and health
concerns. Therefore, development of alternate strategies for effective management of weeds …

Plant pathogens produce toxic metabolites which may play a role in affecting their plant
hosts by the development of diseases. Such compounds present considerable potential as …
