- Abstract
Field grown camelina suffers from various biotic and environmental stresses, affecting its growth and productivity. Allelopathy is a biochemical interaction that occurs between plants by releasing allelochemicals. It has become a sustainable approach that can help to deal with these stresses. When allelochemicals are released and applied at low concentrations, they stimulate crop growth. The potential role of allelopathy in the control of weeds, insects, and diseases is well illustrated. The use of allelopathic crops in the mulching, intercropping, and crop rotations is very useful for weed control. When released at high concentrations, these allelochemicals can also interfere with biochemical and physiological processes, thus affecting plant performance. In this review, we discuss the potential effects of allelopathy: (a) enhancing the growth performance of camelina, (b) controlling weeds, insects, and diseases, and (c) enhancing tolerance to environmental stresses. Based on previous evidence, we also discussed the mechanism, with which allelochemicals promote crop growth and confer tolerance to environmental stimuli and concluded that these allelopathic features can enhance camelina production in the future.
