Abstract : The current investigation anticipated that allelopathic influence of M. indica and S. cumini on the germination and primary growth of wheat (Triticum aestivium), Jowar (Sorghum bicolor), and Mung (Vigna radiata) seeds. M. indica and S. cumini concentrated leaf leachate enhances germination percentage in Jowar, Wheat, and Mung seeds, while average root shoot length increases at a 1:5 concentration. The investigation concluded that M. indica and S. cumini leaves can be used as green manure for these crop plants, and thAt cultivating these plants around the farmyard can also benefit them.

Keywords : Allelopathy, Leachate, Mangifera Indica, Syzygium Cumini, Triticum Aestivium, Sorghum Bicolor, Vigna Radiate Etc.
