“…Therefore, greater attention has been focused on the study of the allelopathic effects of medicinal plants and its potential application for weed control. More recently, some medicinal plants have been reported to possess allelopathic activity such as Ocimum tenuiflorum (Islam and Kato-Noguchi, 2013), Acacia concinna (Boonmee and Kato-Noguchi, 2017), Aspergus racemosus, Picrobiza kurroa, Valeriana wallichii, Ocimum sanctum (Rawat et al, 2016), and Melia azedarach (Shinwari et al, 2017). Therefore, these results suggested that medicinal plants with inhibitory activity may contain allelopathic compounds.…”

Dischidia imbricata (Blume) Steud. is a herbaceous plant belonging to the Apocynaceae family. This plant has been reported to possess various pharmacological properties, however, there has been no report related to its allelopathic properties. Therefore, the aqueous methanol extracts of D. imbricata were examined for possible allelopathic activity against the seedling growth of dicotyledonous plants; lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.), cress (Lepidium sativum L.), and alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), and monocotyledonous plants; barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P. Beauv.), Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.), and timothy (Phleum pratense L.). D. imbricata extracts exhibited a significant inhibition on the seedling growth of all the test plant species at the concentration ≥ 0.01 g dry weight equivalent extract mL-1. The seedling growth of lettuce showed the highest inhibition with D. imbricata extracts followed by alfalfa and cress, whereas the least inhibition was found on the seedling growth of timothy. Concentrations required for 50% inhibition (I50 values) of all the test plant species were in the range of 0.003 to 0.067 g D.W. equivalent extract mL-1 for shoot growth, and 0.018 to 0.026 g D.W. equivalent extract mL-1 for root growth. In addition considering the I50 values, the root growth of the test plant species was more sensitive to D. imbricata extracts than their shoot growth, except cress seedling. These results indicated that D. imbricata may possess allelopathic activity and may contain allelopathic substances. ********* In press - Online First.

“…Two new plants with high allelopathic potential observed were the fruit pulp of C. guianensis and fruits of P. emblica, which with minimum dry quantity (10 mg) affected the radicle and hypocotyl growth, respectively. In this study evaluated another firm inhibitory specimen Acacia concinna fruits (pods), a tropical southern Asia medicinal plant already reported as a growth inhibitor on test plants (dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous plants) [38]. Therefore, with the approach of natural or ecological interaction of vegetation, weed management can be possible by direct or indirect involvement of the allelochemicals through suppression of the radicle development, curling, discoloration, delayed, slowing, stunted root formation [18,36,37].…”

Potential Allelopathic Candidates for Land Use and Possible Sustainable Weed Management in South Asian Ecosystem

et al. 2019

Weed management is one of the significant challenges of field crops since weeds pose a remarkable threat to crop productivity in South Asian countries, including Bangladesh. Allelopathy, a phenomenon whereby secondary metabolites produced and released by one plant species influence the growth and development of other species can be exploited in sustainable management. The focus of this study was to evaluate potential allelopathic plant species which can be further explored as alternatives to synthetic herbicides or incorporated as part of integrated weed management in sustainable agriculture. Two hundred fifty-two plant samples from 70 families were collected from Bangladesh and evaluated with the sandwich bioassay. Thirty-one percent of the samples showed significant allelopathic potential on lettuce radicle elongation. Among the species that showed substantial inhibition, more than 7% of the samples showed higher inhibition (HI) and 25% showed moderate inhibition (MI) on lettuce radicle. Fruit pulps of Couroupita guianensis (95.4%), fruits of Phyllanthus emblica (95.4%), and Acacia concinna (95.4%) showed the highest inhibition on lettuce radicle elongation. In contrast, the leaf of Bombax insigne had growth promoting activity by stimulating radicle (23%) and hypocotyl (80%) elongation of lettuce seedlings. This result suggested that the species with significant plant growth inhibitory potential may play a vital role as an alternative to the increasing use of synthetic herbicides for sustainable weed management in agricultural land.

“…Moreover, the pod extract show the allelopathic property to inhibited growth of some plants. Thus, the plant extract could be utilised as a weed management option in sustainable agriculture [84]. The knowledge acquired form this review will increase attention on biosurfactants; these can be used to develop local plants into new products for the industries.…”

The natural forests of Northern Thailand are the mother source of many utilisable natural products because of their diverse flora and fauna. Among many plant species found within Northern Thai forests, detergent plants are known for its distinctive cleansing properties. Several local species of detergent plants in Thailand are traditionally used by the locals and indigenous people. However, these plants may become extinct because their habitats have been replaced by industrial agriculture, and their uses have been replaced by chemically synthesised detergents. Researchers need to study and communicate the biology, phytochemistry, and the importance of these plants to conserve natural biodiversity of Northern Thailand. Of many utilisable detergent phytochemicals, natural saponins are known as bio-surfactant and foaming agents. Their physiochemical and biological properties feature structural diversity, which leads to many industrial applications.  In this review, we explained the term “detergent” from the physiological mechanism perspective and the detergent effects of saponin.  We also compiled a list of Thai local plants with cleansing properties focusing on the saponin-containing plants. Future studies should investigate information relative to plant environment, ethnobotanical data and bioactive compound content of these plants. The knowledge acquired from this study will promote the maintenance of the local biodiversity and the conservation of the detergent plant species found in Thailand.
