Allelopathy is new emerging science, which indicates inhibitory or
stimulatory biochemical interactions between the two plant species.
Prof. Hans Molisch, a German Plant Physiologist coined this term in
1937. International Allelopathy Society in 1996 broadened its
definition as any process involving secondary metabolites produced
by plants, microorganisms, viruses and fungi.Agricultural and
Biological Systems. Trees are the most dominant form of vegetation
in phyto-community Allelochemicals released from trees either in
atmosphere (volatilization) or in soil (root exudation and
leaching). The allelopathic effects are selective, varies with
different trees because these plants have different phytochemicals.
Tropical and subtropical areas are rich in tree flora and play
vital role in determination of community composition. Therefore it
is important to evaluate the allelopathic potential of trees. The
analysis should help shed some light on this new and exciting field
of research, and will be very useful to plant ecologists.
