Abstract
Abstract Allelopathic influences of aqueous extracts of congress grass ( Parthenium hysterophorus L.) were investigated on germination and seedling vigour of cereals (rice and wheat) and pulses (black gram and chick pea). The observations on germinations of crop seeds were recorded daily while linear growth of plumules and radicles were measured 2, 4 and 6 days after initiation of study. Aqueous extract of this weed exhibited allelopathic effects on germination and seedling vigour of both cereals and pulses. With increase in concentrations of aqueous extract there was decline in percentage of germination in both cereals and pulses but germination of pulses were more adversely affected than cereals. It was also observed that aerial portion of plant part was found to be more potent than sub‐aerial portion in reducing germination and length of roots and shoots of both cereals and pulses under test. The aqueous extract of 10 % concentration obtained from aerial/sub‐aerial portion of plant brought about maximum reduction in length of roots and shoots.
