WHAT DOES PHYTOTOXIN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Phytotoxin

Phytotoxin refers to a substance, known as phytotoxic substances, in soils inhibitory to the growth of or poisonous to plants. Phytotoxic substances may result from human activity, or they may be produced by plant roots, by microorganisms, or by naturally-occurring chemical reactions. A good soil will protect plants from toxic concentrations of such substances by ventilating gases, by decomposing or adsorbing organic toxins, or by suppressing toxin-producing organisms. Many substances produced by plants are secondary metabolites and are the by-products of primary physiological processes. Some examples of phytotoxins exist among the plant secondary compound classes of alkaloids, terpenes, and especially phenolics, though not all such compounds are phytotoxic. They can be found as well in herbicides and substances produced by bacteria.
