Effects of aromatic plants incorporated as green manure on weed and maize development

Allelopathic Effects of Sweet Basil (Ocimumbasilicum L.) on Seed Germination and Seedling Growth of some Poaceous Crops

“…In addition, the reduction in seedling growth was increased as seed powder increased in the soil. These results are in lined with the findings reported by Đikić (2005) and Dhima et al (2009). The study pertains to the exploration of the phytotoxic (allelopathic) potential of aqueous extracts derived from leaf, root and seeds of Ocimum on some commercially important agricultural crops like wheat, gram lentil, mustard, barley, okra and pea, in terms of seed germination, root and shoot elongation.…”

Assessment of some medicinal plants for their allelopathic potential against redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus)

“…It was observed that Tagetes minuta L. leaf powder applied to rice field soil significantly reduced emergence and growth of Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P. Beauv and Cyperus rotundus L. in pots under greenhouse and field conditions (Batish et al 2007). Dhima et al (2009) indicated that green manure of aromatic plants, such as anise, dill, oregano or lacy phacelia could be used for the suppression of barnyard grass and some broadleaf weeds in maize which consequently minimize herbicide usage.…”

Allelopathic activity of Nepeta nuda L. subsp. nuda water extracts

“…Allelopathy of essential oils has been documented [4,5,6,7]. There are also data on presence of water soluble substances in plant tissues [8,9,10]. The effects of allelochemicals on sensitive plants can easily be tested in laboratory conditions: plants` responses such as changes in seed germination, plant height and root length, dry and fresh weight are estimated [1].…”
