Abstract
The allelopathic plants have been recommended as a suitable alternative for weed control under sustainable agriculture (Dahiya, Kumar, Khedwal, & Jakhar, 2017). Allelopathic plants smother weeds in the field following crop rotation (Dwivedi, Shrivastava, Singh, & Lakpale, 2012), cover or smother crops (Ch, Sturm, Varnholt, Walker, & Gerhards, 2016; Sturm, Peteinatos, & Gerhards, 2018), intercropping (Dhungana, Kim, Adhikari, Kim, & Shin, 2019), mulching (Abbas, Nadeem, Tanveer, Farooq, & Zohaib, 2016; Mabele & Ndong’a, 2019), and water extracts of allelopathic crop (Iqbal, Khaliq, & Cheema, 2019; Shahbaz, Sohail, Faisal, & Muhammad, 2018). The repressive effect of various allelochemicals in crops and trees is mainly ascribed to obstructed physiological and metabolic processes of a plant that has been used directly and indirectly for weed management (Cheng & Cheng, 2015; Farooq, Jabran, Cheema, Wahid, & Siddique, 2011). Allelochemical utilization for restricting weed growth is a realistic substitute for manufactured herbicides that do not have any harmful impacts (Bhadoria, 2011). Allelopathy is a new method offering numerous answers for the diminishing food accessibility under increasing worldwide population.
