Autotoxicity is self-destruction of a species through the production of chemicals that escape into the environment and directly inhibit the growth of that species. This mechanism will result in reduced competition between members of the same species. Inhibition on the growth of other plants will increase the availability of nutrients. In cultivation, autotoxicity can make it difficult or impossible to grow the same species after harvest of a crop.

- Autotoxicity is self-destruction of a species through the production of chemicals that escape into the environment and directly inhibit the growth of that species. This mechanism will result in reduced competition between members of the same species. Inhibition on the growth of other plants will increase the availability of nutrients. In cultivation, autotoxicity can make it difficult or impossible to grow the same species after harvest of a crop. For example, this is known in alfalfa and the tree Cunninghamia lancealata Other species displaying autotoxicity include the rush Juncus effusus and the grass Lolium rigidum.
