Allelopathic potential of Pascalia Glauca Ortega aqueous extract against seed germination and seedling growth of groundnut
Journal Title: Bioscience Discovery - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Pascalia glauca Ortega belonging to family Asteraceae, poisonous alien weed reported from Islampur in Walwa taluka of Sangli district of Maharashtra, India. It has been scrutinized for its allelopathic potential against groundnut (Arachis hypogea L). The laboratory experiments were conducted to assess seed germination and seedling growth attribute of groundnut after treating different concentrations (25, 50, 75 and 100%) of stem, leaves and flower aqueous extracts. The results were flashing lighted that seed germination was nasty inhibited (52.83%) in pure leaves extract than stem (28.50%) and flower (56.66%) aqueous extract. The higher concentration (100%) of leaves extract explicitly observed drastic decrease in length of root and shoot. The fresh weight (4.180 mg) and dry weight (0.885 mg) was reduced in 100% concentration of stem extract. To make an inference from present investigation evinced that the degree of increase in concentrations of aqueous extracts of stem, leaves and flowers slacken the seed germination and seedling growth of groundnut.
