Abstract:This study investigates the allelopathic effects of root exudate extracts from Chromolaena odorata on the germination and growth of six crop species. The results reveal variable sensitivity among the species, with the control treatment consistently exhibiting superior germination percentages. Initially, some species, including Abelmoschus esculentus (okra), Solanum lycopersicum (tomato), and Cicer arietinum (chickpea), experienced a substantial decline in germination, indicating a potential inhibitory effect o… Show more
