Allelopathy and competition between individuals on a site are collectively called interference. The allelopathic component of interference is a significant tree health care issue usually overlooked. Allelopathic chemicals (allelochemicals) are conveyed into the environment by trees and ecologically modify growing sites. The way these allelochemicals escape the tree and their general chemical form are reviewed below.
The main pathways of allelopathic effects in trees are through leaves, roots, stems, microorganisms, and some miscellaneous means, all of which will be individually covered below.
