Re: Weaver - early prairie research

 Hi, John,

I don't know how available some of these journals may be, or what kind of
information is contained in the articles, but here's a few articles that
turned up in a "Biosis" search of "allelopathy" (the first hundred or so
records of 1639 total) and "allelopathy and prairie" (8 records):

interesting...)

  Hi.

  I have a related question. I'm looking for a list of research papers
  describing allelopathy --
  the chemical process
  that plants use to keep other plants from growing too close to them
  -- displayed by native
  midwestern plants. My
  literature searches have not been successful. It seems this would be
  very useful information
  for confronting weed
  problems. For exmaple... I'm planning on planting a few black
  walnuts. All other factors
  being equal, would it be
  useful to plant them near the crown vetch I'd like to eradicate? Does
  jugulone (spelling?)
  inhibit crown vetch
  growth?

  Can anyone direct me to a resource about allelopathy displayed by
  native plants... and weeds
  for that matter?

  THANKS!!
