The first thing we have to expose is the etymological origin of the term at hand. In this case, we can determine that it is the result of the sum of two words that come from Greek, such as the following:
- \u201cAllelon\u201d, which can be translated as \u201cone to the other\u201d.
- \u201cPathos\u201d, which is synonymous with \u201csuffering\u201d.<\/p>\n

The term allelopathy<\/strong> It is not part of the dictionary that elaborates the Royal Spanish Academy<\/strong> (RAE<\/strong>). Its use, however, is frequent in the field of biology, where it is the phenomenon that leads an organism to generate certain biochemical compounds<\/strong> that influence the life and development of other organisms.<\/p>\n

Although we may think that allelopathy is something recent in our society, it is not. Specifically, experts in science and, more specifically in biology, come to indicate that already in ancient times it was used. In this way, for example, they state that Plinio came to expose how the shade of the walnut exerted changes in the barley or chickpea crops.<\/p>\n

\"Allelopathy\"Allelopathy can result negative<\/strong> (when the consequences it generates are harmful to the recipient) or positive<\/strong> (if its effects provide advantages or benefits) according to what is caused by these biochemical compounds that are called alleles<\/strong> chemicals.<\/p>\n

Links between plants are usually regulated through allelopathy. A plant<\/strong> one can make a chemical inhibitor while another can make a stimulant. There are plants, on the other hand, that produce chemical alleles that act as insect repellants. In a tuber crop, in this way, this type of plants can be included to ward off pests. Thus, the plant with the chemical allele protects the tubers.<\/p>\n

Knowing how allelopathy works can therefore aid in the preservation of crops. Due to allelopathic characteristics<\/strong> of each species, plants can be used to stimulate the growth of others or to act as pesticides<\/strong> or herbicides. The key is to analyze the chemical properties of plants to encourage positive interactions and to minimize or eliminate potential negative links.<\/p>\n

In addition to everything indicated, we cannot ignore another series of relevant aspects regarding allelopathy. Specifically, the following should be emphasized:
-To know it in depth, one must take into account the modes of liberation that play a fundamental role in it. Exactly we are referring to leaching, volatilization, decomposition of plant residues or root exudates.
-When being able to fully analyze an allelopathic process, it is essential to have two phases. Yes, because this procedure is made up of two well differentiated stages: the biological - ecological phase and the chemical - analytical phase.
-Among the many advantages attributed to the use of allelopathy is the fact that it can help to understand how even allelopathic agents can act as herbicides.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that the organic management of crops through allelopathy is considered an ecological alternative to agrochemicals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n
