This research tests the impact of Phragmites australis extracts on invasive plant growth, indicating potential ecological control methods.
We tested the allelopathic potential of Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trinethanol-extracts from different parts on the growth of Alternanthera philoxeroides (Mart.)Griseb. We determined the bud numbers of tested ramets, root-top ratio, chlorophyll content,node number, height, leaf area, succulent degree and electric conductivity of new stem ofinvasive plants. The ethanol extracts from the stem of P. australis inhibited the growth of A.philoxeroides. The ethanol extracts decreased the bud number of ramets, root-top ratio andchlorophyll content, but increased the node number, plant height, leaf area, succulence degreeand relative electric conductivity of A. philoxeroides. However, the concentration of theethanol extract had little effects on the indexes of A. philoxeroides. This research indicated thatP. australis might be used as an ecological method to control the A. philoxeroides due to itsinhibitory effects. However, more research is needed
