absoluta were obtained in plants with high content of this
allelochemical. In contrast, the highest values for plant, leaflet and leaf injuries were observed in plants with low acylsugar content.
The vegetal mass produced by the coverings must be considered (Table 2), which is responsible for the physical effect of weed suppression; this might be completed by a produced
allelochemical, although this study has not focused in its determination.
Allelochemical resistance of bald cypress, Taxodium distichum, heartwood to the subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus.
Mode of
Allelochemical Action of Phenolic Compounds.
Traits such as the physical properties of the leaves (thickness, hardness, texture, epicuticular wax, and surface hairiness), chemical properties (
allelochemical), and nutritional properties influence the amount of leaf consumed by an insect (SMITH, 2005, HANLEY et al., 2007).
These
allelochemical interactions between Lepidoptera and plants have been extensively studied.

Decrease in chlorophyll contents in the leaves of canary grass with soil incorporation of wheat residue of all wheat cultivars collected at anthesis and maturity may be due to the activity of released
allelochemical compounds.
