The phytotoxicity of aqueous foliar extracts and ground dried residues of sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea L.), cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. cv. Iron Clay], and velvetbean [Mucuna deeringiana (Bort) Merr.] to crop and weed germination and growth was evaluated to compare the allelopathic potential of the cover crops. By 14 days after treatment (DAT), goosegrass [Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn.] germination with 5% aqueous extracts of all cover crops (w/v fresh weight basis) was similar and greater than 75% of control. However, with the 10% extracts, goosegrass germination was lowest with cowpea extract, intermediate with velvetbean extract, and highest with sunn hemp extract. Livid amaranth (Amaranthus lividus L.) germination declined to ≈50% with cowpea and sunn hemp extracts and even lower to 22% with velvetbean extract. The suppression of livid amaranth germination was greater with the 10% extracts than the 5% extracts. Bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) germination was unaffected by velvetbean extract, inhibited more by the 5% cowpea extract than the 10% extract, and was also sensitive to the 10% sunn hemp extract. All cover crop extracts resulted in an initial delay in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) germination, but by 14 DAT, inhibition of germination was apparent only with cowpea extract. The phytotoxicity of ground dried residues of the three cover crops on germination, plant height, and dry weight of goosegrass, smooth amaranth (A. hybridus L.), bell pepper, and tomato was evaluated in greenhouse studies. Goosegrass germination was inhibited in a similar manner by residues of the three cover crops to 80% or less of control. Smooth amaranth germination, plant height, and dry biomass were more sensitive to sunn hemp residues than to cowpea and velvetbean residues. Bell pepper germination, plant height, and dry weight were greater than 90% of control except for dry weight with cowpea residue, which was only 78% of control. The greatest effect of cover crop residue on tomato occurred with dry weight, because dry weights with cowpea and sunn hemp were only 76% and 69% of control, respectively, and lower than with velvetbean. There was more evidence of cover crop phytotoxicity with the weed species than with the crop species and cowpea extracts and residue affected all species more consistently than those of sunn hemp and velvetbean.

Status: PostprintVarious results of researches report that daisy Creeping Daisy (Wedelia trilobata), Goat weed (Ageratum conyzoides), Siam weed (Chromolaena odorata) and Bittervine (Mikania micrantha) have alellopathic potency to innhibit germination, growth and plant yield.. There were few researches on allelopathic potential of Creeping Daisy, Goat weed, Siam weed and Bittervine on mustard. Therefore, an experiment to evaluate the the allelopathic effects of those weeds on growth and yield of mustard at different concentrations is necessary to be conducted. The purpose of the research was to determine the allelopathic effects of Creeping Daisy, Goat weed, Siam weed and Bittervine on the germination of mustard. The Experiment was conducted from November 2008 until January 2009 at Agronomy Laboratory, University of Bengkulu using Randomized Complete Design (RCD). The experiment consisted of four weed species namely Creeping Daisy, Goat weed, Siam weed and Bittervine and five allelopathic concentrations 10, 20,30, 40 and 50 g/L. The results showed that Siam weed suppressed mustard germination more than other weeds. Allelopathic of Siam weed suppressed shoot length and root length of mustard seedling as much as 42.63% and 45.15% respectively. Shoot and root fresh weight and shoot dry weight of mustard seedling were suppressed as much as 28,23%,56,16% and 56,7% respectively The concentration of 50 g/L extracts from Goat weed andSiam weed was the most toxic to the germination of mustard.

The use of bottled fruit beverages has increased enormously. The increased consumption increases the public and sewerage industries. It also leads to various sewerage industries problems. The juice factories use large quantities of water which in turn produces large amounts of wastewater that is called ‘effluent’. This effluent contains a large amount of chemicals and organisms from fruits, sugars and additives like colours. The classical juice factory generates 10 litres of ‘effluent’ per litre of juice. Anextensive range of mangoes are used to make juice; the large quantity of effluent is discharged into nearby water bodies or open agricultural land. The researchers are working on the solution to avoid this. One of the researches we tried to solve the problem of using dilution methods was a physicochemical analysis of mango juice effluent and its phytotoxic effects on gingelly. The laboratory experiment was carried outon the phytotoxic effects of mango juice factory effluent (MJFE)on the growth of Gingelly (Sesamum indicum L.). The different concentrations of effluent(Control, 5, 25, 50, 75and 100%) were prepared, after the seeds sowing the mud pots the treatments were given, the germination percentage(G.P.), vigour index (VI), tolerance index (T.I.), phytotoxicity (P) were recorded in 7thDAS. The growth parameters such as shoot length (S.L.), root length (R.L.), number of leaves (N.L.), total leaf area (TLA), fresh weight (F.W.) and dry weight (D.W.) were inspected on 30th DAS of seedlings.The results were exposed after germination characters, and morphological parameters increased (up to5%) effluent concentration and after that declined in higher (above 25%) concentration of MJFE. Because the effluent is toxic, it contains large quantities of organic and inorganic chemicals and high intensity of BOD, COD and others.

Biofertilizers are becoming increasingly popular in many countries and for many crops, but very few studies on their effect on growth in seedling stage have been conducted in rice. The experiments were conducted under laboratory conditions due to organic manure, fertilizers and bio fertilizers were observed in all experiments. The treatments such as organic manure, chemical fertilizers and Biofertilizers alone and in combination were applied. The growth parameters viz. germination percentage, root length, shoot length, fresh weight and dry weight were measured. Similarly the pigment contents such as chlorophyll-a, b, total chlorophyll and carotenoid were also measured at seventh day after sowing. All the parameters were higher in combined application of Biofertilizers than in single application and other treatments including control.

The present investigation aims was carried out to study the biological activity of aqueous extract and shoot crude powder of Arum cyreniacum (ACSAE and ACSCP) on some germination and growth parameters (germination bioassay experiment) besides major physiological, and biochemical processes (pot experiment) In Hordeum vulgare (crop species) and Phalaris minor (weed species) of different concentrations of A. cyreniacum on germination percentage (GP), coleoptile (CL) and radicle (RL) lengths, seedling shoot and root length seedling fresh and dry weight, some nutrients (N, K, Na, Cu, Fe, and Ni ), and photosynthetic pigments .Generally, the effect of the all concentrations levels of the extract on (GP), (CL) and (RL) on H. vulgare seeds was ineffectively decreased with increasing the concentrations of A. cyreniacum while the percentage was significantly decreased with increasing the concentrations of the with P. minor. All concentrations levels of the extracts reduced coleoptile (CL) and radicle (RL) lengths of H. vulgare. Likewise, the reduction in the two parameters was documented in P. minor. Were more affected in P. minor compared to H. vulgare. There was a significant within the concentration of micronutrients as well as the entire photosynthetic color substance of P. minor seedlings grown in ACSCP. Treatment with ACSCP had a more negative effect on total nitrogen in P. minor than on H. vulgare. Keywords: R Hordeum Vulgare; Growth Parameters; Nutrient Content; Photosynthetic Pigments

Weeds are enemies to the crop plants and have harmful effects on agricultural crops due to several factors such as competition for space, light and nutrients and allelopathy. In the present study,various concentrations (0,5,10,15,20 and 25%) of whole plant aqueous extractsof weeds, Cyperus rotundusL.( Purple nut sedge) and Cynodan dactylon(L.) Pers. (Bermuda grass) were tested for assessing their allelopathic potential on seed germination and seedling growth of some rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars i.e.ADT-36,BPT5204 and IR-20 using pot culture experiments. The experimental results revealed that all the concentrations of both the weed extracts had inhibition on germination percentage, seedling length, number of,dry weight and chlorophyll contents of 15 day old seedlings of all the three rice cultivars and the inhibitory effect of the extracts was concentration dependent. However, at 5% of C. rotundus and10% of C. dactylon extracts did notaffect seed germination of IR-20 . Among the rice cultivars,the higher degree of growth inhibition was observed in ADT-36followed by BPT-5204 and IR-20 . The weed C.rotundusexhibited more intense on growth suppression of rice cultivars thanC.dactylon.

The term allelopathy refers to the detrimental effects of higher plants of one species (the donor) on the germination, growth, or development of another species (the recipient). In the present studyallelopathic influence of weed species, Echinochloa colona (L.) Link, (Poaceae), Cleome viscosa L. (Capparidaceae) and Ammania baccifera L. (Lythraceae) on green gram (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek were investigated. The individual and combined residues of three weeds wereincorporated to the soil at the quantities of 0,1,2,3 and 4% (w/w) in the plots and the germination, seedling growth dry weight of green gram were assessed. The results showed that all the concentrations of combined weed residues exhibited higher degree of inhibitory effects than the individual weed residues in all the parameters employed in the study except at 1% of C. dactylon, where insignificant growth promotion observed. The percentage of inhibitory effects of weedresidues increases with increasing the magnitude of the residues. The degree of reduction percentage of all the growth parameters was concentration dependent.Among the three weeds, A. baccifera had more retarding effects on the growth of green gram and the order of inhibitory effect of three weed was A.baccifera, C. viscosa and E. colona.

The advancement of a country depends upon its industrialization. Of all industrial sectors, the food processing units have highest consumption of water and are biggest producers of effluent per unit of production.The concentration and composition of the effluent depends upon operating methods andthe size and design of the processing plant.The dairy industry generates on an average 6-10 litres of waste water per litre of the milk processed. It has relatively high organic matter, suspended solids, trace organic nutrients which are essential for growth of crop plant. Thus, the utilization of the dairy effluent for irrigation can be an eco friendly approach for its disposal. The present study was carried out to study the influence of dairy effluent on seed germination, seedling growth and biomass production in mung bean (Vigna radiata) and mustard (Brassica nigra). The seeds of both the plant species were grown in petriplates and pots irrigated with various concentrations of dairy effluent (20, 40, 60, 80 and 100%). The dairy effluent concentration of 20% was more favorable for total growth parameters viz., the germination percentage, the shoot length, dry weight and wet weight both in mustard and mung bean. Among different concentrations, 100% concentration of effluent caused inhibitory effect. Thus, it is recommended that only after suitable dilution, the dairy effluent can be effectively used for irrigation.
