Summary Allelopathic effects of different plant allelochemicals have become the focus studies that aim to determine new pesticidal compounds. Plant extracts with chemical compositions can be obtained using methods extraction, whereas dealing allelopathic properties use biotests obtain fast and precise results. Such were undertaken after noticing industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) on surroundi...

The majority of commercial Cannabis sativa L. (cannabis) cultivators use a 12.0-hour uninterrupted dark period to induce flowering; however, scientific information prove this is the optimal for all genotypes lacking.
