Abstract
During the past three decades, extensive work in the field of allelopathy has been done. Rice (1984) reviewed most of the research works associated with the role of allelopathy in agricultural and Ecol.ogical ecosystems. This field of research has drawn the attention of several scientists since there is a strong feeling that allelopathic research can be applied to so many current problems such as weed control (Putnam et al., 1983; Putnam and Duke, 1974) and regulation of nitrogen cycle in soil (Alsaadawi, 1987; Alsaadawi and Rice, 1982a, Alsaadawi and Rice, 1982b; Alsaadawi et al., 1983; Putnam and Duke, 1974). Accordingly a large volume of research work has been done and published in various approaches of allelopathy.
