Know about the book -

The Chemistry, Nanoencapsulation and Bioherbicide Use of Allelochemicals is written by Kevin Salamanez and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1036442632 (ISBN 10) and 9781036442637 (ISBN 13).

This monograph explores the in-depth chemistry behind allelopathy, a phenomenon marked by the release of chemicals into the environment from one plant on another plant causing direct or indirect effects. Allelopathy is an important key to the development of bioherbicides, nature-friendly herbicides preventing growth of herbicide-resistant weeds. Several allelopathy books in the market do not deal with the chemistry of allelopathy. This monograph is unique since (1) it deals with extensive chemistry of allelopathy, achieving better understanding of allelopathy, and (2) it deals with nanoencapsulation of allelochemicals for agricultural applications. This monograph is a valuable reference for employees in the agrochemical industry; a resource material in educating farmers; and a multidisciplinary book for scientists, researchers, students, and professors in agriculture, agricultural chemistry, agronomy, biology, botany, breeding, chemistry, genetics, horticulture, microbiology, molecular biology, material science, plant pathology, plant ecophysiology and ecology, plant physiology, plant protection, soil science, and weed science.
