The term allelopathy was created in 1937 by the investigator Hans Molisch to describe the way plants interact between them to understand the medium around them. The word results from the greek words allélon (mutual) and pathos (prejudice).
Plants produce and release a great number of molecules resulting from their secundary metabolisms, that are released in the environment, affecting the plants around, their growth, their development and even the germination of some species.
