Outline of Talk
What is Allelopathy
• Selection of allelopathic plants by Bioassays
• New Concept of Total Activity for the isolation
of Allelochemicals.
• Cover crop with allelopathic activity provides
natural and environmentally friendly way of
managing weeds without herbicides.

Allelopathy
Interaction (inhibitory or stimulatory)
between plants or plant to other life
by natural chemicals
(allelochemicals)
Plant to Plants ・・・・・・・・・・weed control
Significance of Secondary metabolites*
Plant
Microorganisms・・・disease
(*notto
indispensable
natural chemicals in plants) control
Plant to Insects ・・・・・・・・・・ harmful Insect control
Plant to Animals ・・・・・・・・・・nematode, boar, etc.
Allelopathy is the same concepts as “Antibiotics”

Bioassay for Three Route
All these Bioassays are
my original Assay
1) Exudation (from root)
 Plant Box Method
3)
2) Leaching (from leaf
or litter)
2)
 Sandwich Method
2)
3) Volatilization (mainly
from leaf as volatile
chemicals)
 Dish Pack Method
1)
4)=1)’ Rhizosphere Soil Method

Three key messages
• Specific bioassays for Allelopathy, and
evaluated about 4,000 plants.
• New Allelochemicals Isolated by new
methodology, “Total Activity Method”
• Ground Cover Plants with allelopathiy
(= Phytolark ) provides natural and
environmentally friendly way of managing
weeds without herbicides.
