Özet
Several natural compounds (allelochemicals) are produced in maize (Zea mays L.), which help its plants gain competitive ability and defense against the pests. Benzoxazinoids are most important of these compounds. Phenolic compounds are the other important allelochemicals found in maize. Allelopathic potential of maize can be used to suppress weeds in maize and other crops. Most important technique in this regard may be the growing of maize cultivars that possess an allelopathic potential and are capable to suppress the weeds. Two other important methods that may be employed to control weeds through maize allelopathy include the use of allelopathic plant parts of maize as mulch and intercropping of allelopathic maize plants in non-allelopathic crops. Allelopathic mulch from maize may be applied to control weeds in maize itself, or other crops. Future research should be focused on improving the allelopathic potential of maize cultivars and conversion of the allelopathic maize residues in the form of a weed control product.
