Agronomist talks about "killer" plants in the garden: lilac and 8 more shrubs and trees
Agronomist and professor Daniil Kostylev named shrubs and trees that can reduce the yield of fruit crops.
The expert emphasized that many shrubs and trees, being in the initial stages of development, can coexist.
But over time they begin to interfere with each other: roots, a thick and large crown, phytoncides.
Particular attention should be paid to plants with allelopathic secretions, which inhibit the development of some of their neighbors.
Thus, the list of such plants includes walnut, reports " Lenta ". The tree saturates the soil with substances that suppress other plants. The same can be said about white acacia and barberry.
Horse chestnut, jasmine (mock orange) and lilac have a negative effect on fruit trees, such as pear and apple.
The roots of oak, ash and maple release toxins that suppress the development of annuals.
Many plants do not get along with conifers either. However, their crushed bark is used as mulch to control weeds.
