Terpenes and phenolic compounds comprise the important allelochemicals in sunflower. Residues from sunflower plants possess a strong allelopathic activity and can be used to suppress the weeds under various agricultural settings by either scattering it in the form of a layer over the soil surface or mixing it in the soil. Weeds growing in sunflower can be suppressed by cultivating sunflower genotypes that could express an allelopathic activity.en10.1007/978-3-319-53186-1_9info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAllelopathyAllelochemicalsSunflowerCultivarsMulchBook Chapter7785N/A
