Germination And Growth

The allelopathic potential of wheat [Triticum aestivum(L.) ‘Doublecrop′] straw residue was evaluated on weed-seed germination and seedling growth. The inhibition of weed-seed germination and seedling growth was extract-, species-, and temperature-dependent. The extracts prepared by agitating and soaking caused greater inhibition than those obtained by leaching. The descending order of species susceptibility was ivyleaf morningglory [Ipomoea hederacea(L.) Jacq.], velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrastiMedic.), pitted morningglory (Ipomoea lacunosaL.), hemp sesbania [Sesbania exaltata(Raf.) Cory], sicklepod (Cassia obtusifoliaL.), and Japanese barnyard millet [Echinochloa crus-gallivar.frumetaceae(Roxb.) Link]. Incubation at 35 C caused the greatest inhibition of germination and growth.

Eighteen volatile monoterpenes, which are among the major constituents of essential oils from plants, were screened for phytotoxicity to several crop and weed species. Several monoterpenes containing an oxygen function severely inhibited germination of four different annual weeds while concurrently displaying little effect on soybean germination. Soybeans varied in their sensitivity to various monoterpenes (measured by seedling growth), with α-terpineol and geraniol selectivity inhibiting weed seed germination while having little or no effect on soybeans. All of the monoterpenes tested exhibited relatively high germination and growth inhibition to corn and wheat.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the potentials for utilization of Artemisia herba-alba and Anthemis arvensis shoot aqueous extract at different concentrations (1%, 3%, and 5%) to suppress the germination and growth of Panicum turgidum and Portulaca oleracea (weeds of crop fields) in Petri dish experiment. Results indicated that the degree of inhibition on seed germination and growth of the recipient species was largely dependent on the concentration of A. herba-alba and A.arvensis shoot aqueous extract. The aqueous extract of A.herba-alba showed the highest allelopathic effect on the germination of the seeds of P. turgidum, (10%,10% and 0%) while the effect of A. arvensis shoot aqueous extract was greater on the germination of the seeds P. oleracea (40%,0% and 0%). Percentage germination of the two selected crop species Triticum aestivum and Hordeum vulgare also de-creased as the A.herba-alba and A.arvensis shoot aqueous extract concentra-tion increased from 1% to 5% (90%,80% and 70%),(40%,40% and 20%). But the inhibition percentage was largely less than that of weed species. The results also showed that H.vulgare was more sensitive than T. aestivum and responds more strongly to the increase of concentration of A. herba-alba shoot aqueous extract . Results also showed that the radicle length of almost all tested species was more sensitive to allelochemicals from A.herba-alba and A.arvensis shoot aqueous extract than plumule length. Therefore, A. herba-alba and A. arvensis shoot aqueous extract may offer promises for their usefulness as a tool for weed management.

Allelopathic Potential

Allelopathic effects of Parthenium hysterophorus were studied on seed germination and seedling growth of Triticum aestivum, Oryza sativa, Glycine max and Cajanus cajan. The shade dried leaves of Parthenium hysterophorus were soaked in distilled water for 24 hours at room temperature to obtain aqueous extract and sterilized seeds were treated with 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% concentration of P. hysterophorus leaves aqueous extract. The germinated seeds were counted every day to observe mean germination time. It has been found that significant time is taken to germinate with increasing concentration. It has been also observed that germination percentage, root length, shoot length and seedling vigour value were reduced at >2% as compared to control. The 10 % aqueous extract showed the maximum inhibitory effect on seedling growth. In the present investigation, the leaves aqueous extract of P. hysterophorus had strong inhibiting effects on seed germination and seedling growth. It is necessary to keep this weed under check at the emerging stage at agro crop field so that crop growth constraint may be avoided

Seeds of five crop and 17 weed species were germinated with 0, 3, 6, and 10-bar water solutions of polyethylene glycol to simulate drought. With simulated drought, most weed species germinated better than soybeans (Glycine maxL. ‘Hampton 266A’) but were not equal to pearlmillet [Pennisetum typhoides(Burm.) Stapf. and C. E. Hubb ‘Millex 23’] or sorghum-sudangrass [Sorghum bicolor(L.) Moench xS. sudanense(Piper) ‘SX-16’]. Prickly sida (Sida spinosaL,), sicklepod (Cassia obtusifoliaL.), andIpomoea lacunosaL. were the most tolerant weed species to simulated drought. Four species were intermediate in tolerance and four species germinated poorly under simulated drought. Hemp sesbania [Sesbania exaltata(Raf.) Cory] was the least tolerant and was similar to soybean.

Seeds of 20 weed species buried at depths of 8, 23, and 38 cm in 1972 and 1973 were exhumed at regular intervals and tested for viability and germination. Burial depth had little to no significant influence on longevity. After 5.5 yr 48% of johnsongrass [Sorghum halepense(L.) Pers.], 36% of velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrastiMedic.), 33% of purple moonflower (Ipomoea turbinataLag.), 30% of spurred anoda [Anoda cristata(L.) Schlecht], 18% of hemp sesbania [Sesbania exaltata(Raf.) Cory], and 13% of pitted morningglory (Ipomoea lacunosaL.) seeds were still viable. No more than 6% of the original population for any other species was viable at 5.5 yr. Hard seeds comprised a high percentage of the longer-lived seeds. Seeds of longest-lived species were losing viability at an average of 26% of the existing population each year from 3.5 to 5.5 yr.

Etlingera coccinea, a native Borneon Zingiberaceae are found to exert allelopathic effect on some weed species. The objective of this study is to investigate the allelopathic effects of hexane (80%), methanol (80%), ethyl acetate (80%) extracts from the dried powder of both stem and leaf of E. coccinea on mung bean (Vigna radiata) and Siam weed (Chromolaena odorata). The phytochemical screening of both stem and leaf crude extracts elicited saponin, tannin, flavonoid, and terpenoid, which are targeted bioactive compounds for allelopathy. The allelopathic activity was assessed by evaluating their effects on seed germination and percentage of radicle and shoot growth. The results showed that both stem and leaf extracts have a suppressive effect on the mung bean development during in-vitro bioassay. The methanolic extracts of both stem and leaf showed the most significant suppression (100%) than other solvent extracts. In the pot experiment, the methanolic stem extracts suppressed the Siam weed’s germination by 57 ± 0.13% and the methanolic leaf extracts suppressed the growth by 46 ± 0.29%. The present study shows that E. coccinea methanolic extract has the potential as bio-herbicide.

Seed of three weed species collected from the grain bins of combines while standing hard red winter wheat was harvested germinated better than hand-harvested seed. Combine-harvested curly dock seed germinated from 4 to 24% more than hand-harvested seed. Curly dock seed harvested with a commercial-type combine germinated better than those harvested with a small-plot combine. Harvesting slimleaf lambsquarters and Venice mallow seed with a commercial-type combine also enhanced germination compared to hand-harvested seed.

Artemisia Campestris

Greenhouse studies were conducted to test allelopathic effects of Artemisia campestris ssp. caudata on seed germination and seedling growth of several sand-dune species and colonization by mycorrhizal fungi. The aqueous extracts of A. campestris showed no inhibitory effect on seed germination, seedling elongation, or dry-weight growth of plants at lower concentrations (10 and 50%), but 100% concentration of the extracts caused varying degrees of inhibition depending on the test species. The mixing of dry leaves of seedlings of A. campestris to the sand showed severe inhibition of Elymus canadensis seedlings. The percent germination of test species in soil from the rhizosphere of A. campestris was significantly lower than that of the control. The leaf area and dry weight were also lower but the differences were not significant. The aqueous extract inhibited mycorrhizal fungal colonization in roots of three sand-dune grasses. Key words: allelopathy, Artemisia campestris ssp. caudata, seed germination, seedling growth, mycorrhizal fungi.
