Other claims from this paper (8)
- Association Eucalyptus forest conditions suppressed germination and growth of indigenous weeds.
- Intervention effect Eucalyptus leaf powder significantly retarded growth of three amaranthaceous weeds at 17% v/v.
- Intervention effect Slim amaranth injury increased dramatically at a 9% v/v leaf-powder rate.
- Observation Sedge weeds were less affected by eucalyptus leaf powder.
- Observation Gramineae weeds were least susceptible to eucalyptus leaf powder.
- Intervention effect Eucalyptus leaf water extract significantly inhibited edible amaranthus seed germination within 2 to 3 days.
- Intervention effect Eucalyptus leaf water extract inhibited radicle growth of five vegetables by more than about 70%.
- Recommendation The authors suggest considering eucalyptus allelopathic potential for bioherbicide development.
