Alternate approach to control weeds is getting attentions in sustainable production system. Use of aqueous extracts of crops is getting scientific attention as eco-friendly alternative to synthetic herbicides especially under scenario of fast increasing herbicide resistance in weeds. Therefore, the present study was conducted at Weed Science Laboratory, Department of Agronomy, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad during winter 2018 to determine the phytotoxic effects of Glycyrrhiza glabra on winter vegetable crop Pisum sativum. The experiments were laid out under a completely randomized design (CRD), having three replicates. The experiments comprised of seven treatments with different concentrations of extract. The wood of G. glabra extracts comprised 0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 10%, 20%, 40%, and 80% concentration applied on Pisum sativum. Data on seed germination, root length, shoot length, and fresh weight of weed and pea was recorded following standard procedures. Data were analyzed using Fishers Analysis of Variance. The differences among treatments were separated using a least significant difference test (LSD). Results revealed that aqueous extracts were possessed phytotoxic chemicals that cause phytotoxic effect to P. sativum and result in maximum germination percentage (%), Mean Germination time (Days), Time to 50% germination and minimum, root length (mm), shoot length (mm), root fresh weight (mg), shoot fresh weight was recorded at 80 % concentration of G.  glabra.  It is concluded that there are phenolic compounds in the wood extract of G. glabra which cause allelopathic effects on P. sativum.","PeriodicalId":17469,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF WEED SCIENCE RESEARCH","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86663672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Allelopathy is one of the very efficient methods for management of weeds. Experiment was conducted during 2016 & repeated in 2017 under laboratory conditions in Kharif (summer) season using completely randomized design for allelopathic potential assessment of bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L.) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) with 03 replicates. The treatments under study comprised: control (check), bermudagrass & sorghum root & shoot powders @ 15 and 30 g kg-1 soil as well as water extracts @ 15 and 30 ml kg-1 soil. It is obvious from the present data that allelopathic plants powders & water extracts caused significant adverse effects on tested weeds i.e. Sawari (Echinochloa colonum L.), Saon (Echinochloaa crusgalli L.) and Kabah (Cyperus rotundus L.). Bermuda grass and sorghum water extracts exhibited strong allelopathic efficacy on germination, roots & shoots length, as well as fresh & dry biological weight of weeds included under study. It is further argued that greater inhibitory effects on weeds were caused by extracts prepared from bermudagrass and sorghum in comparison with their powders. Hence, it is evident from the results that bermudagrass & sorghum materials possess phytotoxic potential which can suppress growth of target plant. This allelopathic herbage could be utilized by soil incorporation or extract for weed management in rice as environment friendly strategy.","PeriodicalId":17469,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF WEED SCIENCE RESEARCH","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73384853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, some experiments were conducted to optimize the efficacy of the used herbicides via some additives and other herbicides against S. elaeagnifolium. In the fig fields, the efficacy of glyphosate showed better control when applied with additives and other herbicides that could be ranked as follows; fluroxypyr ≥ pyraflufen-ethyl ≥ metribazine ≥ bromoxynil-octanoate. Applied glyphosate with additives can sever as a substitute to other herbicides combination in the early growth to give a better weed control, while glyphosate with pyraflufen-ethyl, fluroxypyr, and metrabzine in the presence of additives delayed the revegetation times of weed from 70 up to 85 days. Application in August was proved to reduce the fruiting and subsequently their future infection of S. elaeagnifolium. Accordingly, these mixtures of herbicides led to remarkable timing reduction effects in soil microbe’s counts and activity diminished within four weeks after application whereas, fungi were the most restrained microorganisms to herbicides treatments. Among the selective herbicides, pyraflufen-ethyl, and fluroxypyr could be used to suppress the weed growth in the emergency of growing Triticum aestivum and Zea mays respectively. Finally, promoting the effectiveness of the herbicides was profitable by choosing the proper time of application and the suitable mixtures, thus must be devoted to integrated program for better weeds control.","PeriodicalId":17469,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF WEED SCIENCE RESEARCH","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85776764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
