Plants communicate through volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that help them respond to herbivorous pest attacks. This review ...

These so-called allelochemicals are used to, among other things, attract pollinators, fend off herbivores and pests, fight diseases and keep unwelcome competitors away. Plants also synthesise mixtures ...

In plant-plant interactions, allelopathy is generally used to denote the process by which plants release phtyotoxic compounds (allelochemicals) in the soil environment, resulting in a harmful effect ...

inappropriate distances between plants and high concentrations of VOCs (allelochemicals), that may potentially inhibit the growth of neighboring plants. To summarize, this review paves the way for ...

However, the practical implementation of VOC-based technologies in agriculture faces several challenges, such as dose-dependent responses, inappropriate distances between plants and high ...
