Other claims from this paper (5)
- Method / resource The wheat bioassay gave the best results among the four bioassays for weed extracts.
- Intervention effect Aqueous leachates of C. album and E. ciliaris at 1 to 3% w/v reduced the growth of wheat seedlings significantly.
- Method / resource Lettuce and rice bioassays were not suitable for ascertaining allelopathy, compared with the wheat bioassay.
- Method / resource Duckweed bioassay gave doubtful results in some species.
- Recommendation The wheat bioassay is suggested for assessing allelopathy of plant extracts in India.
