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
Earias cupreoviridis of costa suffused with pinkish yellow. There is a brownish irregular marginal band with a yellowish inner edge. Abdomen and hindwings pure white. The caterpillar is pale pinkish brown with olive-green speckles. Anterior tubercles are orange colored and the later are pinkish brown. There are jet-black spots above the spiracles. Larval food plants are "Abelmoschus esculentus", "Diospyros", "Gossypium", "Grewia tiliaefolia", "Corchorus", "Hibiscus", "Kydia calycina", "Malvastrum coromandelianum", "Oryza sativa" and "Sida cordifolia". Earias cupreoviridis Earias cupreoviridis, called the cupreous bollworm as a larva, is a moth of the family Nolidae. The species was first described by Francis Walker in 1862. It
