Preface
The idea of putting together this volume stemmed from a successful International
Symposium on Allelopathy Research and Application held in Sanshui, Guangdong,
China during April 27–29, 2004. The symposium was supported by several agencies:
National Natural Science Foundation of China (30410303040), Department of
Science and Technology of Guangdong Province, Sanshui Municipal Government
and South China Agricultural University. Eighty five researchers from eight
countries working on various aspects of allelopathy attended the symposium. The
National Natural Science Foundation of China (30424006) encouraged and
supported the book publication. Selected papers presented at this symposium and
some additional invited chapters constitute this volume. Several edited books and
reviews on allelopathy have appeared at the turn of the last century. Why another
book on allelopathy? It is largely because the discipline has been experiencing
extraordinary growth in research and there is a great deal of interest in seeking
alternative environmentally friendly methods of weed control in agriculture, ways to
deal with replant problems and soil sickness in horticulture, and competition control
in young plantations. Research and application of allelopathy can help find some of
the desirable alternatives. Our understanding in allelopathy mechanisms has
increased significantly with use of recently developed sophisticated tools and
techniques in biochemistry, molecular biology and genetic engineering. Researchers
in allelopathy are taking advantage of these rapidly expanding fields of molecular
biology in understanding the complex plant–plant and plant-microbe interactions in
seeking solutions to agricultural problems. We felt that it is timely to collect and
synthesize the latest developments on allelopathy research with special emphasis on
its application in sustainable agriculture and forestry. We divided the contents of the
book into three sections: (i) past and recent history of allelopathy, (ii)
allelochemicals and allelopathic mechanisms, and (iii) application of allelopathy in
agriculture and forestry. We thank the authors who responded to our call and
contributed to these topics. Most importantly we are grateful to the reviewers for
spending their valuable time in making critical comments on these chapters. Shekhar
Biswas was helpful in editing some figures and putting together all the chapters in
the appropriate format. We thank Springer for accepting our proposal for this book,
especially Jinnie Kim for keeping faith in us despite the long delay in completing
this volume.
