Hossein Arouiee, Majid Azizi

Abstract

The allelopathic effects of leaf exteracts of Datura sp., Cenicus benidictus, Silybum marianum and Plantago lanceolata on seed germination of main weeds of Mashhad region investigated. Seed germination of the weeds and commercial plants showed different reactions. Seed germination of the weeds decreased while their Mean Daily Germination (MDG) increased. In some cases, germination rate increased in comparison with control (treated with distilled water).
