Abstract
Allelopathy is currently gaining importance in Quebec as a factor of ecological significance. However, there are few reports on the phenomenon. Most of the work was done in forestry and surprisingly little in agriculture. Research in allelopathy in Quebec was initiated in 1974 as part of a project on the ecology of balsam fir (Abies balsamea (L.) Mill.) and balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera L.) at the Faculty of Forestry and Geodesy of Laval University (Quebec city). Then, the research was orientated on (1) the adverse allelopathic effect of forest weed species on regeneration and (2) the allelopathic control of competing species in forest plantations.
