ABSTRACT

The allelopathic potential of Ludwigia adscendens L. was studied under laboratory conditions and pot experiments in field conditions. Different parts (viz. leaf, stem, and leaf+stem) of the weed exudates at 2.5, 5, and 10% (w/v) concentrations were applied to determine their effect on rice (Oryza sativa cv. Satabdi) seed germination and seedling growth under laboratory conditions. Increasing concentrations of leaf and stem of L. adscendens weed inhibited seed germination and seedling growth of rice. Further, leaf+stem extract of this weed synergistically also inhibited seed germination and seedling growth of rice. The plumules of rice seedlings were more sensitive to allelopathic effects than radicles.  Increasing concentrations from leaf, stem, and leaf+stem of this weed significantly (P
