From the preface The enigmatic silent and complex biochemical interactions among plants including microbes generally go unnoticed in nature but lead to changes in vegetation structure composition and species diversity. Such biochemical interactions termed as allelopathy have emerged as a full fledged scientific discipline falling within the framework of chemical ecology. Allelochemicals are produced in plants as defensive compounds and upon release influence the growth and development of biological systems in different ecosystems. Allelopathy is now viewed with multifaceted approach and is recognized as a key factor in vegetation patterning succession forest regeneration and influencing growth and yield of other plants. In agroecosystems the influence of allelopathy on crop plants was probably realized from the beginning of the civilization when agriculture began. Generally it is viewed as a causal factor in decreasing yield of crop plants. Accumulation of allelochemicals in the fields causes soil sickness and thereby the growth and yield of crop plants particularly when the same crop is grown continuously in monocultures. The problem of soil sickness is attributed to autotoxicity (autoallelopathy). During the last few years this science has attracted the attention of scientists world over because of the pesticidal potential of allelochemicals. Allelopathic interactions in agricultural fields also influence soil microbial ecology nutrient dynamics and various biotic and abiotic factors. 448 pp.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Discover environmentally safe ways to control weeds and pests!Until now farmers have had to choose between using expensive herbicides and fertilizers, which pollute the water table, or watching crop yields drop. All too often, crop yields dropped anyway, despite intensive farming. Allelopathy in Agroecosystems offers fresh hope. It provides an in-depth understanding of allelopathy-the mysterious, complex biochemical interactions among plants and microbes. This little-understood phenomenon plays a large role in agriculture, for good or ill. It can lead to changes in nutrient dynamics, vegetation structure, and species diversity. This comprehensive treatise is the first compendium devoted to explaining and exploring these chemical interactions in agricultural crop systems. Allelopathy in Agroecosystems explains how these interactions can make soil 'sick,' especially in intensively cropped areas. This leads to less growth and lower yield. On the other hand, it has great potential as an environmentally safe method of weed and pest management. The fascinating original research presented here will help you understand the complexities of this invisible yet potent force in agriculture.Allelopathy in Agroecosystems examines this interaction as it affects the most important concerns of farmers and agronomists, including: - beneficial interactions between crops - weed control using crop residues - crop rotation - natural herbicides - genetic engineering - soil rhizosphere bacteria - improving pastures - forest/crop interactions - sustainable management of agroecosystems - new directions for research International in scope, Allelopathy in Agroecosystems offers an abundance of scientific data on this revolutionary new concept. It offers incalculable potential for rescuing farmed-out land, increasing crop yields, and cutting back on expensive soil additives. Every agronomist, environmental scientist, policymaker, agricultural librarian, and advocate of sustainable farming needs this book. …
