Prosopis juliflora, commonly known as Mathenge, releases allelochemicals from various parts of the plant, including its roots, leaves, flowers, pods, seeds and stems. These naturally occurring compounds can interfere with the germination of nearby indigenous plant species and hinder the establishment and development of their seedlings.

Through this allelopathic effect, Prosopis juliflora can reduce the growth, survival and biomass accumulation of native vegetation, giving it a competitive advantage and contributing to the displacement of indigenous plant species.
