Other claims from this paper (5)
- Association The highest germination reduction on corn was 80% under P. stratiotes.
- Association The germination reduction on corn under L. wollei was 43%.
- Observation Rice was the most tolerant species to the allelopathic effects of both amendments.
- Association Rice root length increased significantly with the P. stratiotes rate over two weeks.
- Recommendation P. stratiotes can be used as a potential bio-fertilizer to stimulate early growth of rice.
