Suppressive activity of volatile fatty acids and aromatic carboxylic acids on the germination of Monochoria vaginalis

Rice bran application is practically used by Japanese organic rice farmers as a common measure in controlling Monochoria vaginalis, a known weed in organic rice production. To elucidate the inhibitory mechanisms of rice bran application on M. vaginalis germination, we focused on volatile fatty acids...

Suppressive activity of volatile fatty acids and aromatic carboxylic acids on the germination of Monochoria vaginalis
