Biochemical warfare used by aliens on the attack sounds like the plot of an apocalyptic sci-fi story. However under the ground there is biochemical warfare occurring, invaders being repelled and defenders being overcome. Despite their apparent passive and inanimate natures, plants are continually battling against each other, against the elements and against everything that wants to eat them. One of the most interesting and controversial ways that this occurs is through allelopathy.
Allelopathy is defined as the event of one plant producing a chemical that does not cause harm to itself or members of its species, but harms others. Understandably, gardeners are particularly interested in allelopathic chemicals, because targeted weedkillers that affect everything but your prize carrots are highly sought after.
