Abstract
We studied the allelopathic effects of 4 polyphenols viz., ellagic and gall ic acids, (+)-catechin and pyrogallol released from Myriophyllum spicatum o n the growth of cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa. It was found that 4- polyphenols together caused 17-100% allelopathic effect of M spicatum on M aeruginosa.
