Abstract

The aquatic macrophytes are well known to exhibit allelopathy. Arundo donax L., the Giant reed (Poaceae) was screened for their allelopathic potential to the growth of wheat seedlings. The 3% aqueous leachate was tested for seed germination of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. variety Raj. 1482) in petriplates as well as pot culture.The A.donax was found to enhance the growth of wheat seedlings.The wheat seedlings were planted in pots with soil mixed with 3% (w/w) dried matter (Ag and Bg parts) of A.donax. The growth of wheat seedlings was highly promoted. This study suggested the future prospects of the integrated management of wheat crop using the potential of allelopathic species A.donax.
KEY WORD: Allelopathic potential, Leachate, Integrated management.
