In this study, the allelochemicals present in the leachates of bark, fresh leaves, leaf litter and root of Simarouba glauca were identified using Gas Chromatography. The results revealed that the following allelochemicals viz., benzoic acid, caffeic acid, catechol, coumaric acid, ferulic acid, resorcinol, salicylic acid and vanillic acid were present in the leachates. The bioassay of identified allelochemicals were tested on germination, seedling growth and vigour index of the following agricultural crops viz., blackgram, greengram, cowpea and redgram. The results reported that all the allelochemicals exhibited reduction in germination and growth of pulse crops. Among the allelochemicals, ferulic acid and salicylic acid exhibited maximum inhibitory effect on germination of the test crops at 1mM and 2mM concentrations respectively when compare to control. The maximum inhibitory effect on seedling growth and vigour index was registered by ferulic acid at both concentrations. Among the test crops, redgram was most affected and cowpea was least affected due to allelochemicals.
