“…The plant allelochemicals have altered interactions among organisms, community dynamics into the soil environment and determine the development of plants in the soil (Meiners, Phipps, Pendergast, Canam, & Carsonet, 2017). Meanwhile, they affect the cellular structure, metabolism, photosynthesis, enzyme activity, nutrient absorption and hormonal regulation of target plant (Rehman et al, 2019). The extraction of allelochemicals from selective plant species using aqueous or alcoholic solvent comprehends the elaboration of allelopathic effects (de Moraes Gomes et al, 2017).…”

This study represents the comprehensive screening of allelopathic activity of weeds in Pakistan by applying sandwich and dish pack methods. The source for existing research of weed control towards classifying the potent organic compounds for controlling weeds in crops is the screening of large quantities of plants. Strong allelopathic weeds species have been acknowledged from analysis to provide direction for further research. Under laboratory conditions 73 weeds species were examined for their allelopathic potentials through latest bioassay activity evaluation techniques. The research information generated from the present work can be used as a benchmark for future research on the allelochemical identification and characterization. During the follow up work of present endeavor; methanolic leaf extracts of strongest allelopathic species shall be tested for antioxidant activities on crops pathogens and will also be recommended as allelopathic cover crop for biological control of weeds to support agro-environment conservation. In Pakistan, the allelopathic activity evaluation of plants through bioassay techniques is quite rare. There is a dire need to develop a complete data base of plants having strong allelopathic potential through application of these latest techniques.

Botanical characteristics, potential uses and cultivation possibilities of mustards in Turkey: a review

Introduction Mustard is among the oldest known spices, dating back to about 3000 BC (Mehra, 1968) and are cultivated for different edible and industrial uses especially in the spice and energy sector. Turkish natural flora of Sinapis alba syn. Brassica alba (white mustard or yellow mustard), S. arvensis syn. B. arvensis (wild mustard), B. juncea (brown mustard), B. rapa syn. B. campestris (field mustard or turnip), and B. nigra (black mustard) species are the most important among them (Babac, 2004; Guner et al., 2012; http://194.27.225.161/yasin/tubives/index.php?say fa=dizin&&familya=Acanthaceae) and will be discussed in the review explicitly. These species also contain other compounds like glycosides, arachidic acid, sinabine, lignoceric acid etc. in their oils. Abundance of erucic acid in these oils make them unsuitable for culinary purposes (Kires and Hammann, 2014). Previous studies show that mustard flora of Turkey has significantly high percentage (25%-35%) of seed oil (

“…A properly designed crop rotation system may also help to control weeds and diseases, thus reducing the agrochemical inputs which is pivotal in organic farming systems [1,[8][9][10]. The inclusion of crops with allelopathic potential in a crop rotation system can significantly reduce the weed pressure on crops [11][12][13][14][15] due to the release of various secondary metabolites also known as allelochemicals [14]. In this context, Rehman et al [15] reported that Brassica species can be included in crop rotation systems or can be used for mulching and as cover crops for weed control, since they produce allelochemicals such as glucosinolates, brassinosteroids, and allyl isothiocyanates which show phytotoxic effects against to targeted species including weeds.…”

In another study, Farooq et al [16] observed that the dry weight and density of weeds in a rice crop was reduced by 77% and 78%, respectively, when sorghum water extracts and sorghum mulch were implemented in a crop rotation system of wheat-sorghum-dry seeded aerobic rice (DSAR) in comparison to wheat-fallow-DSAR cultivation system.…”

Allelopathic Activity of Spearmint (Mentha spicata L.) and Peppermint (Mentha × piperita L.) Reduces Yield, Growth, and Photosynthetic Rate in a Succeeding Crop of Maize (Zea mays L.)

et al. 2019

The inclusion of species with allelopathic activity in crop rotation systems may have benefits for crop management such as weed control, but less is understood about their wider impacts on succeeding crops. The main objective of this study was to investigate the effects of two allelopathic species (spearmint and peppermint) on growth, physiological characteristics, and yield of a following maize crop. Thus, field experiments were carried out at two sites, according to a randomized complete block design, while the examined treatments were: (a) fallow–fallow–maize crop rotation system (FFM), (b) spearmint–spearmint–maize crop rotation system (SSM), and (c) peppermint–peppermint–maize crop rotation system (PPM). Our results indicated that the inclusion of spearmint or peppermint in crop rotation systems negatively affect the growth of maize plants. The highest plant height was recorded for FFM rotation system where no allelopathic species were used. At both sites and for four sampling dates, the aboveground dry biomass was also affected by the implemented crop rotation system. In particular, dry biomass was significantly lower in the PPM and SSM crop rotation systems comparing to the FFM system, whereas there were no significant differences between these two crop rotation systems. Similar to the maize biomass, the highest values of photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, and relative chlorophyll content were observed for the FFM rotation system. Additionally, differences in grain yield were observed among the tested crop rotation systems. Grain yield ranged from 10,200 to 13,346 kg ha−1 and from 11,773 to 14,106 kg ha−1 at site A and B, respectively, while it was reduced by 16.54–23.58% and 12.16–17.83% in the SSP and PPM rotation systems comparing to the FFM system. In conclusion, our results indicate that the inclusion of peppermint or spearmint in crop rotation may inhibit plant growth and reduce grain yield of maize as successive crop, an effect that could be attributed to the allelopathic activity of spearmint and peppermint.
