e0“Growth experiments utilising crops namely Pisum sativum L., Cicer arietinum L., Triticum aestivum L., Oryza sativa L., and specific weeds Melilotus indicus (L.) All., Phalaris minor Retz, Cassia tora L., and Vicia villosa Roth. demonstrated significant decreases in root and shoot length, along with dry biomass, when cultivated in rhizosphere soil compared to the control group.”

Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation Chenopodium murale rhizosphere soil had increased pH, electrical conductivity and total phenolic content.
- Observation Nutrients were present in the rhizosphere soil, arguing against nutritional deficit as the growth limitation.
- Association Higher phenolic compounds in Chenopodium rhizosphere soil were associated with growth inhibition.
- Observation The tested species differed in sensitivity to Chenopodium rhizosphere soil.
- Recommendation The authors recommend considering Chenopodium murale for sustainable weed management because of its phytotoxic effects.
- Intervention effect Pisum sativum L. had significantly lower root and shoot lengths and dry biomass in Chenopodium rhizosphere soil than controls.
- Intervention effect Cicer arietinum L. had significantly lower root and shoot lengths and dry biomass in Chenopodium rhizosphere soil than controls.
- Intervention effect Triticum aestivum L. had significantly lower root and shoot lengths and dry biomass in Chenopodium rhizosphere soil than controls.
- Intervention effect Oryza sativa L. had significantly lower root and shoot lengths and dry biomass in Chenopodium rhizosphere soil than controls.
- Intervention effect Phalaris minor Retz had significantly lower root and shoot lengths and dry biomass in Chenopodium rhizosphere soil than controls.
- Intervention effect Cassia tora L. had significantly lower root and shoot lengths and dry biomass in Chenopodium rhizosphere soil than controls.
- Intervention effect Vicia villosa Roth. had significantly lower root and shoot lengths and dry biomass in Chenopodium rhizosphere soil than controls.
