Allelopathy on selected major crops. Many crop cultivars show strong allelopathic properties, of which rice ("Oryza sativa") has been most studied. Rice allelopathy depends on variety and origin: Japonica rice is more allelopathic than Indica and Japonica-Indica hybrid. More recently, critical review on rice allelopathy and the possibility for weed management reported that allelopathic characteristics in rice are quantitatively inherited and several allelopathy-involved traits have been identified. Many invasive plant species interfere with native plants through allelopathy. A famous case of purported allelopathy is in desert shrubs. One of the most widely known early examples was "Salvia leucophylla", because it was
Saluria inficita the plants show dried up shoots and turn yellow. Damage can controlled by hand picking, pheromone usage, light traps and usage of chemical insecticides such as carabaryl, methyl parathion, phosphomidon or dimethoate. Saluria inficita Saluria inficita, the white stem borer, is a moth of the family Pyralidae. The species was first described by Francis Walker in 1863. It is found in India and Sri Lanka. Its caterpillars are pests of "Eleusine coracana", "Oryza sativa", "Setaria italica" and "Zea mays". The adult has brownish wings. A pale white band runs along the margin of forewings. Hindwings white. The caterpillar is whitish
