description

The chemical mediations which affect carrot (Daucus carota L.) growth in the context of the ecological interactions of this common vegetable with microorganisms, insects and competing plants are reported. Literature data and results of these study confirm, that carrot plants are well equipped with defensive and offensive chemical mechanisms, which allow them to avoid or to decrease the negative influence of competitors and pathogens. What is worthy of note the chemicals involved in these processes might be treated as the leading structures to design for new environmental friendly pesticides.
