Analysis of the Sensitivity of Spring Wheat and White Mustard Seedlings to the Essential Oil of Parsley Seeds
Keyword(s):
Essential oils are a rich source of compounds for botanical pesticides. This study aimed to characterize the chemical composition of essential oil from parsley seeds and its phytotoxicity against the germination and initial growth of wheat and mustard. The main compounds of the oil were α-pinene, β-pinene, and apiol. In a Petri dish experiment, the oil inhibited germination of seeds of both species. However, the growth of seedlings of both species was more inhibited, especially for wheat. In conclusion, parsley oil displays phytotoxic potential against the studied species, which should also be tested in soil conditions and against weeds.
