Root-emitted volatile organic compounds: can they mediate belowground plant-plant interactions? (2016, background): “…to VOCs emitted by roots, etc.), this type of experiment has been criticized because it does not fully demonstrate the role of isolated chemicals in plant-plant interactions in nature (Inderjit and Dakshini 1995; Inderjit and Weston 2000; Inderjit and Callaway 2003; Inderjit and Nilsen 2003).”
Invasive Plants can Inhibit Native Tree Seedlings: Testing Potential Allelopathic Mechanisms (2005, methodology): “…(e.g., Tongma et al. 1998; Fujii 2003; Hane et al. 2003), relatively few studies have investigated allelopathic interference by using realistic sources and concentrations of putative allelochemicals (e.g., foliar leachates or root exudates; Inderjit and Weston 2000; Inderjit and Callaway 2003).”
Bioassays and Field Studies for Allelopathy in Terrestrial Plants: Progress and Problems (2003, background): “Laboratory bioassays are important tools to understand a particular component of allelopathy; however, field studies are needed to test whether different components are operating together as a unit in field situations (Inderjit and Weston, 2000).”
