Investigate the allelopathic effects of certain plants on the growth of others. Conduct experiments to observe the relationships between different species!
If allelopathic plants are grown near non-allelopathic plants, then the growth of the latter will be inhibited due to the release of growth-inhibiting chemicals.

Plant allelopathic plants in designated pots.
Plant non-allelopathic plants near them.
Water both sets of plants equally.
Observe and record growth over several weeks.
Measure the height of non-allelopathic plants.
Compare growth rates between the two groups.
Analyze the results for inhibition effects.
Draw conclusions based on findings.
It is expected that non-allelopathic plants will show reduced growth when planted near allelopathic plants, demonstrating the inhibitory effects of allelopathy.
