Book Chapter Description

Allelopathy has shown both inhibitory and stimulatory roles in plant processes such as on seed germination, overall growth, development, reproduction, disease/weed management, cell division, or biosynthesis of photosynthetic pigments of other plants by releasing some allelochemicals, mainly secondary metabolites. It is a multidisciplinary science, and their influences are noted in agriculture as well as forestry sectors. However, in several cases, a proper understanding of released chemical compounds or structure is desirable for the efficient positive application. It has been reported that metabolites, for instance, phenols, alkaloids, terpenoids, benzoxazinoids, glucosinolates, and isothiocyanates, are some important allelochemicals. This chapter is focused on the role of secondary metabolites as allelochemicals and their various applications.
