Plants samples were gathered from Ramadi, University of Anbar. Extraction processes performed from foliage in labs belonging to Center for Desert Studies using methanolic and aqueous extracts to assess their Allelopathy. Allelopathic bioassay applied with three concentrations 0.5, 1 and 2% On Germination%, Germination Rate, Germination Speed, Average Germination Speed, Response Index, Radicle and Plumule Length of wheat seed. Phytochemicals detection of the R. vesicarius presented highest percentage of alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols and Glycosides. GC/MS analysis proofed that R. vesicarius and Z. coccineum methanolic extracts contained highest 2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid (alkaloid) of 35.98% and 1,2-benzendicarboxyylic acid bis(-methylhexyl) ester (hydrocarbonate chain) of 35.06%, in each species extract, respectively. Methanolic and aqueous extract (%2) of R. vesicarius possessed lowest rate of germination (%13.3), (%50.7), respectively. On the other hand, methanolic and aqueous extract (%2) of Z. coccineum gave lowest germination rate of 30.6 and 81.3%, respectively. so, this extracts of R. vesicarius and Z. coccineum could be used as eco-friendly bioherbicide, and may be integrated into harmful weed control strategies.
The experiment was conducted in the plastic house of the Department of Horticulture and Gardening Engineering at College of Agriculture, Anbar University during the period from March to September 2019 to study the effect of wounding, levels of indole butyric acid, and date of cutting on the rotting ability of ficus. The experiment was carried out using complete randomized design (CRD) with a factorial experiment consisting of three factors; the first factor involved applying two levels of wounding (without wounding, two wounds at the base of the cutting); the second factor included the treatment of the cutting base with four levels of indole butyric acid (0, 1,500, 2,000, and 3,000 mg-liter-1), while the third factor was the date of cuttings (March and April). The results showed superiority of cutting during March on the percentage of rooting (99%), the number of days required for rooting (22 days), number of roots (89 per plant), a diameter of the roots (0.75 mm), and length of the roots (17.33 cm).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
