Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect Dried leaf leachates of T. rotundifolia completely inhibited vegetable germination at 60%–100% leachate concentration, relative to distilled-water control.
- Intervention effect T. rotundifolia leachates inhibited vegetable seedling growth more than stem, root and flower leachates, ranked leaves > flower > root > stem.
- Intervention effect Leaf litter at low concentrations enhanced the growth of the vegetables relative to control.
- Observation Amaranthus hybridus had the highest height (65.25 ± 11.29) at 30 g litter.
- Observation Corchorus olitorius had the highest height (40.77 ± 2.72) at control.
- Observation Amaranthus hybridus had the highest girth (8.64 ± 0.47) at 30 g litter.
- Observation Corchorus olitorius had the highest girth (3.09 ± 0.13) at control.
- Observation Amaranthus hybridus had the highest number of leaves (24.10 ± 6.24) at 30 g litter.
- Observation Corchorus olitorius had the highest number of leaves (21.90 ± 5.93) at control.
- Observation Organic carbon in Amaranthus hybridus biomass was highest at 30 g litter (99.54 ± 0.64 mg kg −1).
- Observation Nitrogen composition of Amaranthus hybridus biomass was highest at 30 g litter (3.95 ± 0.02 mg kg −1).
- Intervention effect Soil OC and TN under Amaranthus hybridus were significantly higher with 20 g litter dosage than in control soil.
- Intervention effect Soil OC under Corchorus olitorius was lower with 40 g litter (2.60 ± 0.04 g kg −1) than in control soil.
- Intervention effect Soil OC under Corchorus olitorius was lower with 50 g litter (2.52 ± 0.03 g kg −1) than in control soil.
- Recommendation The authors recommend regular removal of T. rotundifolia biomass from the field to prevent accumulation that hinders germination and crop growth.
