| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses biorational alternatives for pest control, focusing on allelopathy. Defines allelopathy as "an important mechanism of plant interference caused by the addition of plant-produced toxins to the plant environment." Examines allelopathic interaction in the black walnut tree, explaining that it "has been reported for centuries to inhibit plant growth through the production of a potent natural herbicide or allelochemical, juglone." Explains the potential effects allelopathy and turfgrass can have on the suppression of various weed types, predicting that "the turf and ornamentals industry will...see a variety of new herbicides, fungicides and insecticides that are naturally produced or developed from natural products." |
