Evaluation for Allelopathic Activity of Selected Tree Species Grown in BRIS soil

This study was carried out to evaluate the allelopathic activity of selected tree species grown in BRIS soil. The mature leaves from ten different tree species were collected as the material of donor plants. They were evaluated for the allelopathic activity of the leaf litter leachate and leaf vol...
