Abstract:A greenhouse experiment was conducted to determine the potential of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to mitigate the allelopathic effects of invasive Nicotiana glauca on the growth of Acacia gerrardii seedlings. Aqueous extracts from N. glauca leaves and flowers (at concentrations of 20, 60, and 100 g/L) and AMF treatment (±AMF) were applied to A. gerrardii seedlings arranged in a factorial experiment with four replicates. After 6 months, vegetative (plant fresh and dry weight, height, leaf number area), phy… Show more
