This biography includes the salient achievements of outstanding allelopathy Soviet scientists: Vladimir Nikolaevich Sukachev, Mykola Hryhorovych Kholodny, Sergei Ivanovich Chernobrivenko, Boris Petrovich Tokin. Mykola Kholodny founded and developed the theory of phytohormones, phytogenic and other organic components in atmosphere (plant volatile secretions) and methods of their biotesting, studied rhizospheric aspects of allopathic plant interactions in soil microbiology. V.N. Sukachov formed the Principles of phytocoenological interactions of plants and chemical interactions in communities, formation of plant life strategies and laid the foundations of phytogenic fields. S.I. Chernobrivenko developed the structure of allelopathic regime in cenosis to study life strategies of plants and grouped interactions in different species in cenotic communities. V.R. Tokin, gave doctrine of ‘Plant Phytoncides’, which provided the basis for phytohormonal and phytoexudative interactions of plant species through secretions from roots and aboveground parts and their allelopathic actions
