Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Extract concentrations of 50% and 100% completely inhibited germination and seedling development of Amaranthus, compared with 0%.
- Intervention effect The 12% extract concentration unexpectedly stimulated growth of all tested Amaranthus species, compared with 0%.
- Intervention effect All extracts negatively affected the germination speed index of Amaranthus, with a 100% reduction at the highest concentration.
- Intervention effect Hypocotyl length of Amaranthus did not differ significantly among treatments.
- Intervention effect Root system development of Amaranthus was severely impaired by the extracts.
- Intervention effect Shoot growth of Amaranthus was poor under the extracts.
- Intervention effect Seedlings exposed to increasing extract doses showed clear phytotoxic symptoms that culminated in necrosis.
- Observation Phytochemical screening detected coumarins, steroids and flavonoids in the Brassica extracts.
- Observation Phytochemical screening detected phenolics, glycosides and tannins in the Brassica extracts.
- Observation Phytochemical screening detected terpenes in the Brassica extracts.
- Recommendation The authors suggest brassicaceous extracts may be a viable alternative for managing Amaranthus species.
