Abstract

Limiting the competitiveness of weeds by mechanical methods (weavers, hand weeding) is a time-consuming and cost-intensive process. Allelopathy mainly refers to chemicals released into the medium that affect the growth of other organisms in the immediate environment. One of the plants with the strongest allelopathic potential is sorghum, belonging to the family of paniculate. The aim of the research was to determine the allelopathic potential of selected sorghum forms (varieties) and the usefulness of sorghum extract as a bioherbicide in reducing weed infestation in organic cereals (maize, wheat, triticale) in our climatic conditions.
