Abstract:Allelopathy is a process whereby a plant directly or indirectly promotes or inhibits growth of surrounding plants. Perennial sugarcane root extracts from various years significantly inhibited Bidens pilosa, Digitaria sanguinalis, sugarcane stem seedlings, and sugarcane tissue-cultured seedlings (P < 0.05), with maximum respective allelopathies of − 0.60, − 0.62, − 0.20, and − 0.29. Allelopathy increased with increasing concentrations for the same-year root extract, and inhibitory effects of the neutral, aci… Show more
