Investigation reveals vanillic acid affects germination and microflora in peanuts, indicating potential toxicity.
The toxicity of vanillic acid on seed germination and seedling growth of peanut and its effects on rhizosphere microflora was investigated. The results showed that seed germination and other plant growth characteristics were significantly affected by vanillic acid at concentration > 0.01 mM.L-1. The number of rhizosphere bacteria and actinomycetes were markedly reduced with an increase in vanillic acid concentration. Higher concentration also inhibited the rhizosphere fungi but lower concentrations were stimulatory
