Plants use the secondary metabolites for interacting with it's environment. The allelopathic plants produces secondary metabolites for obtaining a competitive edge on the other plants. Allelopathy is defined as a biochemical communication b/w the plants, in which a plant (donor) produces the secondary metabolites, also known as the allelochemicals. This allelochemicals are harmful for the growth of the surrounding plants.
hope it helps.

How do we know that plant secondary metabolites are expensive to maintain (fouranocoumarin examples)?
Plants often store secondary metabolites that function to deter insect herbivores but are also toxic to plant cells. How do plant cells avoid the toxicity of the secondary metabolites and still have the toxins deter insect herbivores?
