Extract

Numerous workers have reported the presence of growth and germination inhibitors in various plants. In some cases the active principles have been isolated and characterized. It has been further found that some of these inhibitors have a role in the interaction of species. Thus, the compound, 3 acetyl–6–methoxybenzaldehyde, is leached from the leaves of Encelia farinosa and suppresses the establishment of other species in the immediate vicinity of the parent plant.
