Allelopathic Effects of Aqueous Rhizome Extract of <i>Kaempferia galanga</i> on the Growth of Red Chilli (<i>Capsicum annuum</i>)

“…A similar study targeting red chillies as the recipient plants conducted by Sahoo et al [15] using leaf extract of Citrus reticulata found germination inhibition of the recipient plants up to 55%. Previously, phytochemical screening against the leaves extract of C. reticulata has been done and resulted several secondary metabolites allegedly allelopathic such as flavonoids, tannins, steroids, and phenolic compound [16]. Aqueous extract of kaccholam rhizome, as indicated by Narasinga Rao and Kaladhar [14] in fact contains some of the compounds including tannins and phenols.…”
