Which part of rice plant have allelopathic effect against weed suppression? Does anybody have paper about allelopathic effect of rice plant against weed?
As rightly pointed out by Dr.Suresh, Allelopathy is an environment friendly approach and usually root, stem+ leaves, straw of rice is being used in many of the experimental studies. However, implementation at field level is not there. Please find enclosed some of the research articles in these lines.
This is a good question, but does rice really have allelopathic effects. Maybe the rice just outgrows and shades the weeds out. Its great success is in flooded patties where very few other plants can survive the reduced soil conditions.
Allelopathy is an environment friendly approach for weed control but also a factor causing autotoxicity in crop production. A number of compounds, such as phenolic acids, fatty acids, phenylalkanoic acids, hydroxamic acids, terpenes, indoles, and the labdane-related diterpenoid momilactones, have been identified as potential rice allelochemicals
