Spreading of the plant species in new areas is supported by the hypothesis in which chemicals produced by alien species are allopathic to native plants. A novel weapon hypothesis was tested by using essential oil of dangerous alien species Heracleum mantegazzianum in laboratory conditions. Aboveground plant material was collected in south-east part of Slovakia, dried and hydrodistilled for essential oil isolation. Dominant compounds as octyl acetate (62.6%), hexyl 2-metylbutyrate (10.7%), hexyl isobutyrate (7.5%) and hexyl butyrate (6.5%) were identified by GC-MS. Potential phytotoxic activity was tested on three dicot plant species garden cress (Lepidium sativum L.), radish (Raphanus sativus L.) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) and on one monocot plant species wheat Triticum aestivum L. Germination of the seeds of model plant species after influencing by different doses of essential oil of H. mantegazzianum as well as the roots length was evaluated. Lepidium sativum L. and Raphanus sativus L. were generally not sensitive to applied doses of essential oil although a little stimulation effect at some concentrations prevailed over inhibition effect. Similarly, in monocot species Triticum aestivum L., stimulation was visible in both root length and root number at two or one highest doses, respectively.

The chemical composition of an Italian oil of tarragon ( Artemisia dracunculus L.) was analyzed by GC/EIMS. The major compound of the oil was estragole (73.3%), followed by limonene (5.4%), ( E)-β-ocimene (5.3%), β-pinene (3.4%) and ( Z)-β-ocimene (3.0%). The essential oil was tested “ in vitro” for its antigermination activity against Raphanus sativus L., Lepidium sativum L, Papaver rhoeas L. and Avena fatua L. seeds and demonstrating a good inhibitory activity in a dose-dependent way.

Abstract The study presents the results of research on the acute toxicity of a fertilizer formulas made of spent coffee ground (SCG) with addition of ash from low-temperature combustion of biomass or ash with an admixture of magnesium sulphate and blood meal. The experimental fertilizer formulas included also rape oil used as a plasticizer for controlling the nutrients release from the fertiliser. Mustard (Sinapis alba L.), oats (Avena sativa sp. L.), cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) and cress (Lepidium sativum L.) were used as test plants species in the experiment. The toxicity tests were performed using a standard procedure of 72 h with the use of Phytotoxkit microbiotest and fertilizer application of 2.5; 5 and 10% (v/v). The obtained results indicated an increase of acute toxicity for all tested plant species, proportionally to the applied doses of the fertilizer. During the 72 h period, the strongest inhibition of seedling growth was recorded in samples consisting of 10% of the tested fertilizers, particularly when they showed considerable level of salinity or low pH values. From the tested plant species, cress (Lepidium sativum L.) turned out to be the most sensitive to the applied fertilizers, the least was cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) for which only a small inhibition of root system growth was observed. The inhibited growth of roots could be attributed to a reduced oxygen access and excessive salinity of the substratum caused by the applied additives.

A determinação da concentração de compostos no solo por meio de plantas quantificadoras apresenta como principal vantagem detectar somente resíduos biologicamente ativos, não havendo necessidade de instrumentos onerosos e de prévia extração dos resíduos do solo. Dessa forma, este trabalho teve como objetivo selecionar plantas quantificadoras da presença de herbicidas residuais (pré emergentes) para o uso em bioensaios. Utilizou-se delineamento experimental completamente casualizado com arranjo bifatorial 8 x 6, com cinco repetições. O fator A consistiu de espécies cultiváveis e o fator B de herbicidas aplicados em pré emergência. Os resultados evidenciaram que a sensibilidade na detecção do herbicida no solo depende da espécie utilizada. A sensibilidade das espécies Lactuca sativa L. e Raphanus sativus var. sativus L. não permitiu condições de quantificar a presença dos herbicidas atrazina, cloransulam, imazaquin, metribuzin e S-metolacloro. Raphanus sativus var. oleiferus Metzger é potencial quantificador de imazaquin e S metolacloro. Plantas de Curcubita pepo L. são promissoras na bioavaliação de metribuzin. A espécie Cucumis sativus L. mostrou-se potencial bioindicadora de cloransulan e imazaquin. Avena sativa L. apresentou-se como potencial quantificadora de imazaquin e metribuzin. Hordeum vulgare L. pode quantificar o metribuzin e Triticum aestivum L. é promissor na detecção da biodisponibilidade de atrazina.

Microorganisms associative to the specific botanical species (Brassica capitata var. alba Lizg., Licopersicum esculentum Mill., Сucumis sativus L.) were isolated followed by the study of their morphological, physiology-biochemical properties and plants’ reaction on inoculation. It was shown that the quantity of isolated associative microorganisms’ isolations had depended both on the specie of macroorganism and microorganisms of soil in which the plant was formed, and had not depended on the quantity of microorganisms in the soil. These isolations had not showed the absolute specificity to the specific plant species. Some strains had promoted increase of overgrown and root weight of Lepidium sativum L. plants on 27,3 and 54,5 % correspondingly.

The chemical composition of the essential oil from aerial parts of Calamintha nepeta (L.) Savi, collected in the Campania Region, was obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC and GC-MS. In all, 42 compounds were identified. The oil was characterized by a prevalence of the sesquiterpenic fraction (80.8%). The main components were 1,10-di- epi-cubenol (18.5%), allo-aromadendrene epoxide (11.4%) and cadalene (5.7%). The essential oil was evaluated for its in vitro potential phytotoxic activity against germination and initial radical growth of Raphanus sativus L., Lepidium sativum L., Sinapis arvensis L., Triticum durum L. and Phalaris canariensis L. seeds. The essential oil showed no antioxidant activity.

In this study we determined the chemical composition of R. officinalis essential oil and evaluated its possible phytotoxic activity. The chemical composition of the essential oil was studied by GC and GC-MS analyses. A total of 57 compounds were identified and the main components are α-pinene (24.9%), verbenol (8.5%), verbenone (8.5%), 1,8-cineol (8.2%) and isoborneol (8.1%). Moreover, the essential oil and its main constituents, α-pinene and 1,8-cineol, were evaluated for their possible in vitro phytotoxic activity against germination and initial radical growth of radish ( Raphanus sativus L.), rue ( Ruta graveolens L.), lettuce ( Lactuca sativa L.) and tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum L.). The results showed thatboth germination and radical elongation were sensitive to the oil but not in the same way to α-pinene and 1,8-cineol. The oil influences in different ways radical elongation of R. sativus, R. graveolens, and L. sativa and the germination of S. lycopersicum. Instead α-pinene influenced only radical elongation of lettuce.

Algumas culturas, como as espécies cultivadas no inverno, possuem poucas opções de herbicidas seletivos registrados. Devido a falta de informações, alguns agricultores usam produtos de forma inadequada, podendo ocasionar conseqüências indesejáveis. O presente trabalho avaliou a tolerância de espécies de inverno a herbicidas residuais. Para tanto, foi conduzido um experimento entre junho e agosto de 2005, em casa de vegetação da Faculdade de Agronomia da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), localizada no município de Porto Alegre. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado, arranjo bifatorial 4 x 6, com cinco repetições. O fator A consistiu das espécies cultiváveis: Avena sativa L. (aveia branca), Hordeum vulgare L. (cevada), Raphanus sativus var. oleiferus Metzger. (nabo forrageiro) e Triticum aestivum L. (trigo) e o fator B consistiu dos herbicidas de aplicação em pré-emergência: atrazine (3,0 kg ha-1), cloransulam (0,04 kg ha-1), imazaquin (0,14 kg ha-1), metribuzin (0,144 kg ha-1), S-metolachlor (1,92 kg ha-1) e testemunha sem aplicação de herbicida. As culturas do nabo forrageiro e do trigo não apresentaram tolerância aos produtos utilizados. Plantas de aveia branca foram tolerantes ao cloransulam e a cevada apresentou tolerância aos herbicidas atrazine e cloransulam.
