Origin

International Allelopathy Foundation

The International Allelopathy Foundation (IAF) was set up in 1993 as a subsidiary body of Allelopathy Books with the specific aim of promoting and spreading the science of allelopathy worldwide. It provides an institutional framework to coordinate publishing, translation and outreach efforts in this specialised field. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

The main objectives of the Foundation are:

• To publish allelopathy literature, including the Allelopathy Journal and related books.
• To translate important allelopathy works from non-English languages into English and make them more widely available.
• To distribute allelopathy journals, books and reference material to researchers and institutions.
• To organise scientific meetings and conferences devoted to allelopathy.

The IAF is financially self-supporting and does not depend on external funding agencies. It has successfully fulfilled its mandate by continuously publishing the Allelopathy Journal since 1994, reaching 46 volumes by 2018, and by maintaining an active programme of publications and events. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
