Allelopathic effects ofProsopis julifloraSwartz

Allelopathic effects of aqueous extracts from under canopy soil and from different parts ofProsopis julifloraon germination and early seedling growth of various cultivars ofZea mays,Triticum aestivumandAlbizia lebbeckwere studied. Fruit and seed extracts considerably delayed and reduced germination, root, shoot and seedling growth compared with root, leaf and flower extract. Soil extract showed a inhibitory effect on germination but seedling growth remained unaffected in most of cuiltivars.
