Chapter synopsis: This chapter focuses on advances in understanding allelopathic interactions between weeds and crops. In the first part, we discuss allelopathy in crop-weed interactions while the second part focuses on practical aspects of allelopathy with reference to IWM. The first part includes a detailed discussion on research findings on buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) as our research group has studied its potential allelopathic properties during the last 10 years.
