TLDR
Allelopathy refers to the beneficial or harmful effects of one plant on another plant, both crop and weed species, from the release of biochemicals known as allelochemicals, from plant parts by leaching, root exudation, volatilization, residue decomposition, and other processes in both natural and agricultural systems as discussed by the authors.Abstract:
Allelopathy refers to the beneficial or harmful effects of one plant on another plant, both crop and weed species, from the release of biochemicals, known as allelochemicals, from plant parts by leaching, root exudation, volatilization, residue decomposition, and other processes in both natural and agricultural systems. This 5-page fact sheet introduces the concept of allelopathy and mentions potential applications as an alternative weed management strategy. Written by James J. Ferguson, Bala Rathinasabapathi, and Carlene A. Chase, and published by the UF Department of Horticultural Sciences, March 2013.

TL;DR: Combined application of allelopathic extract and reduced herbicide dose (up to half the standard dose) give as much weed control as the standard herbicides dose in several field crops, and lower doses of herbicides may help to reduce the development of herbicide resistance in weed ecotypes.

Allelopathic effects of sorghum extracts on Amaranthus retroflexus seed germination and growth
TL;DR: Analysis of variance at germination stage of Amaranthus showed that main and interaction effects were significant on all attributes, and sorghum allelopathic ability can be used for decreasing plant population of pigweed and preventing more use of herbicides.
