Summary of Major Points for Model Systems

In summary based on the bush snap bean life cycle, early seedling development and reproduction, particulary at flowering, are most sensitive stages to phenolic acids. 

2 Plant-Plant Allelopathic Interactions. Phase I The Laboratory 

In the absence of soil microbes and seedlings, enrichment of soils with phenolic acids by continuous addition (flow-through system) eventually saturated the soil with phenolic acids. In the Cecil A soil flow-through system, depending on nutrition, reversible sorption ranged from 25 to 42% and irreversible sorption was approximately 12% for Cecil A soil (1 soil 2 sand mixture) at steady state, and
