ALLELOPATHIC EFFECT OF ARUNDO DONAX ON CHICK PEA CROP

Allelopathy plays an significant role in the agroecosystems most important to a broad range of connections among crop-crop and crop-weed. Generally, these relations are injurious to the recipient plants but provide a selective benefit to the donor. The aquatic macrophytes are well known to reveal allelopathy. Arundo donax was screened for their allelopathic prospective to the increase of chick pea seedlings. The 3% aqueous leachate was weathered for seed germination of chick pea (Cicer arietinum) in petriplates as well as pot culture. The Arundo donax was initiate to improve the enlargement of chick pea seedlings. The chick pea seedlings be planted in pots through soil mixed with 3% (w/w) dried matter (Ag and Bg parts) of Arundo donax. The growth of chick pea seedlings was extremely promoted. This revision suggested the potential prospects of the included management of chick pea crop by the likely of allelopathic potential of Arundo donax.
