Abstract
Numerous allelochemicals belonging to various groups of secondary metabolites viz. nonprotein amino acids, cyanogens, phenolic compounds and alkaloids reported from promising leguminous forages and involved in plant - animal and plant-plant interactions are reviewed. Their ecological significance has also been discussed.
