Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Extracts of exudate inhibited germination of leached mahoe seed and of five of six other species
- Intervention effect Replacing the exudate with fresh water restored germination in mahoe and in all but one test species
- Mechanism The exudate acts mainly as an autoinhibitor of mahoe germination with little allelopathic role
- Mechanism Germination only after long rain periods gives mahoe seedlings an establishment advantage
