Abstract
This study investigate the allelopathic effect of H oney weed (Leonurus siribicus L.) on some selected vegetable seeds and their seedling s growth. The selected vegetable seeds and seedlings were Brinjal ( Solanum melongena ), Okra ( Abelmoschus esculentus ), Amaranth ( Amaranthus tricolor ) and Cucumber ( Cucumis sativus ). The aqueous, ethanol and acetone extracts of L. siribicus were significantly decreased and inhibited germination percentage of selected vegeta ble seeds. The extracts were also retarded the root and shoot growth of the same in c ompare to control. This study reveals that different extracts of Leonurus siribicus may contain allelochemicals which are responsible for decreasing germination an d shoot and root growth retardation. Further study is needed to determine t he effective allelochemicals from different extracts of L. siribicus for controlling weed in practicing organic agricul ture.
