This current environmental research aims to assess if there is a significant difference in various soil parameters measured at Chonradsadornumrung School and to evaluate the allelopathic potential Rose Apple (Syzygium jambo) ethanolic and boiled extracts. The quality of the soil from the sampling site was tested using the standard protocol from Globe and equipment from Extech. In allelopathy test, 3 treatments were used namely control (Distilled water), 100% ethanolic and boiled extracts of Rose apple. Two methods were used to discover the allelopathic potential of the plant. The results of the different experiments were observed, gathered, and compared using one-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD Test. Based on the experimentations, results and gathered data, the researchers concluded that there was a significant difference (p<0.05) in soil pH, relative humidity, and air temperature of the study site, except for soil temperature (p>0.05) that was measured at 5cm and 10cm depth. Additionally, the ethanolic and boiled extracts of Rose Apple (Syzygium jambo) possess an allelopathic potential because it can inhibit the growth of Mung beans (Vigna radiata). This capacity of the plant is due to its allelochemicals such as alkaloids, tannins, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and Leucoanthocyanins. Keywords: Allelopathic potential, soil parameter, ANOVA and Tukey HSD Test
