Rotation of rice-wheat cropping system is most popular in India due to its high productivity; however, these crops are highly infested by the varied weeds, thus farmers use various herbicides for their control. Resulting, this rotation consumes a large quantity of herbicides, which has resulted in severe problems like environmental and human health hazards; development of herbicide resistance in weeds etc. One of the emerging alternatives to overcome these problems is with the use of allelopathic strategies- an emerging field, including the use of weed-smothering crops for weed management and for the sustainability of agriculture. Various studies indicated that allelopathic strategies, including the use of smothering crops, could provide effective weed control in rice-wheat crop rotation and can manage weed populations at an economic threshold level without using any kind of chemicals. This may both eliminate/minimize the use of herbicides and eliminate all the major problems associated with herbicidal use.
