Stimulatory Allelopathy exhibited by Ficus religiosa L. in Favouring the Growth of Mimosops elengi L. and Holoptelia integrifolia (Roxb.) Planch - Abstract
Allelopathy is a complex phenomenon in the natural world where plants release specialized chemicals, known as allelochemicals, that impact the growth, development, and survival of other organisms in their environment. These interactions can be positive, negative, or neutral, influencing various aspects of plant communities and ecosystems. Understanding allelopathy’s diverse roles sheds light on intricate natural interactions, with potential applications in various fields. In this study, it was observed that Ficus religiosa was favouring the growth of Mimosops elengi and Holoptelia integrifolia. These two plants grew straight up right from the root region of Ficus religiosa.
