Abstract

Molisch (1937) derived allelopathy from the two Greek words: allelon (which means ‘of each other’) and pathos (which means ‘to suffer’). Allelobiogenesis or allelopathy characterized by the combination of both biotic and abiotic stresses actuated by donor plants on recipient plants. As per the modern literature, the term allelopathy is an organic chemical interceded negative impedance between plants or microorganisms through its direct or indirect influence (De Albuquerque et al., 2011; Rice, 1984; Willis, 2000; Yang et al., 2011).
