Secondary metabolites produced by different plants might inhibit or stimulate the growth and development of other plants present in their vicinity. Mirabilis jalapa leaves extracts were tested for their effect on the biochemical content of a dicot plant Vigna radiata L(Mung) and a monocot plant Eleusine coracana L. (Ragi) and to observe their allelopathic potential. It was observed that 6% & 8% concentrations of the extract showed a stimulatory effect on its biochemical contents such as protein, carbohydrates. Monocot plant is more vulnerable to allelopathy than dicot plant.
