Abstract: Bioassay is an important link in allelopathy study, but lacks standardized methods. This paper reviewed the widely used bioassay methods, their suitability and the factors affecting determined results, such as collection methods of allelochemicals, influences of microbes, solution osmotic pressure, and selection of receptors. Suggestions on the expression of bioassay results are also provided.

Key words: Allelopthy, Bioassay
