Laboratory study demonstrates phytotoxic suppression of germination in okra and sesame, suggesting potential applications for natural weed management.
Phytochemicals are secondary metabolites produced by a variety of plants that can prevent competitor species from germinating.Allelopathy is the name for this process, mediated by various substances, the most common of which are phenolic compounds.Plant allelochemicals can thus be employed in agricultural systems to suppress weeds and crops.This study aimed to determine how Melia azedarach (L.) aqueous leaf extracts affected Sesamum indicum (L.) and Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) seedlings in terms of germination, seed index, seedling length, and biochemicals of crops.Aqueous extract of Melia azedarach L. leaves was assayed at 10%, 20%, 40%, 60 %, and 80% concentration
