allelopathic

It is even "allelopathic", which means that these grasses release chemicals from their roots that naturally deter the growth of weeds.

Various hypotheses have been advanced for their formation, from geomorphological phenomena, to plants having allelopathic exclusion effects, to being animal derived features.

Examples of interference competition would include a lion chasing a hyena away from a kill or a plant releasing allelopathic chemicals that reduce the growth rate of a competing species.

Community ecology 2008

Some plants produce allelopathic chemicals, which limit the growth and survival of competing plants.

Once present, it is easily spread through seed dispersal – its seeds can remain viable for up to two years and buried seeds can stay dormant for up to 20 years – and as a result of its allelopathic character.

The leaves and branches of the black wattle are believed to have allelopathic properties – that is the chemical inhibition of growth and seed germination of other plants.

Other problems are relative sensitivity of young trees to fire, allergenic properties of pollen, and allelopathic effects of leaf extracts on germination of other plants (Setiadi and Samingan, 1978).

They should provide minimal competition with the companion crops for moisture, nutrients and light, and should not be allelopathic.

Aken'Ova and Atta-Krah (1986) noted additional benefits of improved weed control in alley cropping, while Obando (1987) indicated a possible allelopathic effect of Gliricidia on the common weeds Bidens pilosa and Melanpodium perfoliatum in Costa Rica.
