Moench) is most important among the crops possessing a strong allelopathic potential. A good deal of scientific literature has been devoted to explain the allelopathic potential of this crop. Sorgoleone is the most important allelochemical that is synthesized in the sorghum roots. Aerial plant tissues of sorghum mostly contain phenolic compounds as allelochemicals. There are several ways to exploit the allelopathic activity of sorghum for controlling weeds under field conditions. These are not limited to growing of allelopathic sorghum cultivars, use of allelopathic sorghum mulch and cover crop, intercropping allelopathic sorghum with other crops, and inclusion of allelopathic sorghum in a crop rotation.en10.1007/978-3-319-53186-1_8info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessSorghumAllelopathyAllelochemicalsSorgoleonePhenolic compoundsCultivarsMulchCrop rotationIntercroppingCover cropBook Chapter6575N/A
