Allelopathic and intraspecific growth competition effects establishment of direct sown Miscanthus
High yielding perennial crops are being developed as a sustainable feedstock for renewable energy and bioproducts. Miscanthus is a leading biomass crop, but most plantations comprise a sterile hybrid Miscanthus × giganteus that is clonally propagated. To

Implementation of Card: Curve-Fitting Allelochemical Response Data
Bioassay techniques are essential methods used to study the effects of allelochemicals on plant processes. It is often observed that the biological processes are stimulated at low allelochemical concentrations and inhibited as the concentrations increase.

Plant Allelochemicals as Sources of Insecticides [PDF]
In this review, we describe the role of plant-derived biochemicals that are toxic to insect pests. Biotic stress in plants caused by insect pests is one of the most significant problems, leading to yield losses. Synthetic pesticides still play a significant role in crop protection. However, the environmental side effects and health issues caused by the
