“…These discoveries indicated that except for CTs, there might be other bioactive substances in K. obovata LLLs acting as allelopathic ingredients to inhibit the growth of A. corniculatum. In previous studies for other plant species, the aqueous leaf extracts from Flemingia semialata visibly inhibited the growth of potted crops, maize, and rice, while effective constituents for allelopathic phenomenon, such as alkaloids, phenols, terpenoids, and other unsaturated fatty acids, were identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) [40]. Additionally, Torawane and Mokat (2021) found that certain bioactive compounds, e.g., phenols, alkaloids, flavonoids, flavonols, and glycerol extracted from a weed species, Neanotis lancifolia, could generate strong allelopathic effects on the germination of mungbean and rice [12]; therefore, plant allelopathic effects arise from interactions among multiple bioactive compounds rather than just vegetable tannins.…”
