Description of Tested Tactic
By means of volatile bioassays, the flowering fresh plant material of both shrub species was shown to produce and emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) able to inhibit the
germination and/or early growth of two agricultural weeds: Amaranthus retroflexus and Digitaria sanguinalis
Description of Reference System
Ten nonpretreated seeds for each species were used as control treatment
