- Observation The decoction and infusion extracts contained nine major compounds, with caffeine and neochlorogenic acid most abundant.
- Intervention effect Both decoction and infusion at 4% and 6% completely inhibited E. heterophylla seed germination and seedling formation.
- Intervention effect At 2%, extracts significantly increased E. heterophylla mean germination time.
- Intervention effect In a glasshouse, 4% extracts caused mild to moderate leaf damage.
- Intervention effect In the glasshouse, 4% extracts did not affect height or true leaf emergence.
- Intervention effect Field extracts promoted slight biomass increases.
- Association Field extracts modulated antioxidants and pigments, which correlated positively with growth traits.
- Recommendation The authors propose Ilex extracts as a biodegradable bioherbicide option.
