Abstract
Organic weed management is a system that incorporates the use of diverse biological organisms and biologically-based approaches including solarization, allelopathy, crop competition, and other cultural practices to significantly reduce weed densities in a manner that is similar to use of chemical herbicides alone. Interest in developing effective biological weed management systems continues to increase because of a growing awareness of problems associated with the constant and intensive use of chemical herbicides, which include surface- and groundwater contamination, detrimental impacts on nontarget organisms, development of weeds resistant to herbicides, and consumer concerns for residues on food. Among different biological methods of weed control, allelopathy and soil solarization could lead to reduced labour costs and increased efficiency, without any adverse effects on the environment.<br> The paper highlights the different concepts of using allelopathy and soil solarization for eco-friendly control of weeds.
