R E S U M OO objetivo do trabalho foi verificar possíveis efeitos alelopáticos exercidos por extratos aquosos de folhas de cumaru (Amburana cearensis) e malva-santa (Plectranthus barbatus) sobre a germinação de sementes de caruru (Amaranthus deflexus). As sementes de caruru foram colocadas para germinar em placas de petri em contato com extratos vegetais aquosos obtidos a partir de folhas de cumaru e malva-santa sob dois métodos de preparação -extrato aquoso das folhas frescas e extrato aquoso por infusão das folhas secas -e duas dosagens -50 e 100 g L -1 . Foi utilizado o delineamento inteiramente casualizado com 4 repetições e uma testemunha isolada compondo um fatorial 2 x 2 x 2 + 1. Foi determinada a porcentagem final e o índice de velocidade de germinação. A análise dos dados revelou diferença entre os tratamentos e a testemunha, condicionando graus diferentes de alelopatia para os extratos usados afetando drasticamente a germinação do caruru. O extrato a base de folhas frescas de cumaru apresenta alto nível de alelopatia de modo a impedir quase que completamente a germinação do caruru. A dose, com efeito, mais prejudicial para a germinação do caruru foi a de 100 g L -1 .

A. deflexus seeds were put to germinate in Petri plates containing aqueous plant extracts obtained from A. cearensis and P. barbatus leaves under two tillage methods -aqueous extract from fresh leaves and aqueous extract by infusion of dried leaves -and two dosages -50 and 100 g L -1 . We used a completely randomized design with 4 replications and a detached witness composing a factorial 2 x 2 x 2 + 1. It was determined the final percentage and germination speed index. Data analysis revealed differences between treatments and the witness, conditioning different allelopathy levels for the extracts used, dramatically affecting the germination of A. deflexus. The A. cearensis fresh leaves extracts has a high level of allelopathy since they prevent almost completely the germination of the weed A. deflexus. The most damaging dosage for germination of A. deflexus was 100 g L -1 .
