Features: Plant allelopathy has been discovered for over two thousand years, but systematic and in-depth research on it has only been carried out in the past three decades. Due to the theoretical and practical significance of plant allelopathy in achieving sustainable development of agriculture and forestry and protecting natural resources, plant allelopathy has become one of the forefronts of scientific research in recent years. This book comprehensively and systematically elaborates on the theory and application of plant allelopathy, an emerging interdisciplinary field, providing detailed introductions from basic concepts to the latest developments both domestically and internationally. This book is suitable for scientific and technical workers engaged in agriculture, forestry, environmental ecology, plant science, and chemistry, as well as faculty and students of relevant institutions.
