“…The secondary hydrolysis products of glucosinolates in brassica plant may be the major cause for obtained results (Vera et al, 1987). These results had also been confirmed by Miri (2011) and Tawaha and Turk (2003) where a degree of germination % age was reported against various extracts. It is therefore suggested that on decomposition, the given legumes will expel the allelochemicals to soil and special measures should be adapted to obtain the desired germination level in field previously sown with such legumes.…”

In the present study, the putative allelopathic potential of aqueous extracts (10 % w/v) of three legumes, i.e. alfalfa, berseem and brassica spp., including distilled water treatments as check were evaluated on germination and early seedling growth indicators of rice, sorghum and millet under laboratory conditions. The treatments were compared in completely randomized design with factorial arrangements in four replications. The recorded observations clearly indicated that the germination process and seedling growth of receptor plants were negatively affected in the presence of legume extracts. The extract of Brassica had the strongtest inhibitory effect on germination process in form of increased mean germination time (MGT) and lowered the coefficient of velocity of germination (CVG), germination % age and germination index (GI) as compared to other extracts. Likewise, the lowest root and shoot length, their fresh and dry weight was also noted in petri dishes with Brassica extracts. Among the receptor crops, rice was the most susceptible in term of both seedling growth and germination attributes. The interaction between test crops and legume extracts was found to be significant for most of studied parameters except germination % age, fresh and dry weight of root and shoot. The presence of allelochemicals in the studied legumes entitled them to be used in weed management programme and is also signal for designing specific production technologies able to reduce their effects on succeeding crops.

“…Some studies report that the extracts of alfalfa, kudzu, and black mustard had inhibitory effects on seed imbibition (Chon et al 2004;Rashid et al 2010a;Tawaha & Turk 2003). Seed imbibition, the first phase of germination, is an important step to germination and if water uptake does not reach a Note: ***, **, * and ns indicate significant difference from control at P 5 0.001, P 5 0.01, P 5 0.05 and non-significant respectively after applying the Dunnett's test.…”

This study investigated the possible phytotoxicity induced by Phargmites australis on phenotypic and physiological parameters of recipient plants with identification of major inhibitors in the donor plant. This was achieved using aqueous extracts of different organs and root exudates of P. australis in laboratory and greenhouse experiments with Lactuca sativa as the model test plant. The observed reduced liquid imbibition and altered resource mobilization in seeds of L. sativa, in particular an insufficient carbohydrate supply, demonstrated that the onset of germination might be negatively affected by phytotoxicity. Dose-response studies pointed out that oxidative stress through reactive oxygen species production could potentially cause the observed germination and seedling growth reductions. The osmotic effects by mannitol solution on germination as well as growth and physiology at a level of (0.57 and (0.45 bar, respectively, demonstrated that the results from aqueous plant extracts were partially induced by the osmotic potential on and above those levels. Overall, the relative strength of inhibition on measured parameters was the highest in leaf extract, followed by rhizome, root, stem, and inflorescence. Root exudates of P. australis also had negative impacts by reducing germination and growth of plant. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis revealed gallic acid, a potent phytotoxin, as a major compound with an order of leaf ! inflorescence ! rhizome !root ! stem.

“…The idea of natural herbicides is the occurrence of the allelopathic phenomenon, which refers to bio-chemical interactions between all types of plants. Several workers reported the possibility of using allelopathy in weed control (McLaren 1986;Tawaha and Turk 2003;El-Rokiek et al 2006).…”

Purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus) foliage and tubers were tested for allelopathic potential against the following weeds; jute Chorchorus olitorius (broad leaved weed), and barnyard grass Echinochloa crus-galli (grassy weed) associated with soybean. In the greenhouse, during 2008 and 2009, foliage and tubers of C. rotundus were mixed with soil surface at 20, 40, 60 and 80 g/kg. C. rotundus negatively affected those of jute and barnyard grass particularly at 80 g. Jute was more susceptible to allelopathy by C. rotundus than barnyard grass. Inhibition in weed dry matter was higher with tuber than foliage residues. Tuber residues reduced the dry weight of jute and barnyard grass by 85.96% of the control and by 58.28% with 80 g, respectively. On the other hand, soybean growth and yield showed a high significant increase compared with unweeded pots. A high-performance liquid chromatography analysis showed that C. rotundus foliage contained the following phenolic acids: caffeic, ferulic, coumaric, benzoic, vanelic, chlorogenic and cinnamic.Tubers contained hydroxybenzoic, caffeic, ferulic, vanelic and chlorogenic.
