Abstract
Love grass, Chrysopogon aciculatus(Retz.) Trin., is a perennial grass of the family Poaceae. In this study, the allelopathic potential of this grass was evaluated in different screening conditions. In bioassay, the seedlings of barnyardgrass, rice and mung bean were significantly inhibited at the concentration of 50 g/l of love grass powder;the average inhibition was 56.86%, 52.61% and 46.24%, respectively. Especially, the root growth of the indicator plants was remarkably suppressed. In net house conditions, the germination rate and shoot length of barnyardgrass were inhibited compared with the control treatments. Application of 200 g/m2of the lovegrass powder, the average inhibition was the highest by 42.14%. In the field trial condition, the biomass (fresh weight and dry weight) of barnyardgrass was significantly suppressed which was similar to the net house condition. The highest average inhibition was 37.6%. Moreover, applying 200 g/m2of C. aciculatuspowder reduced the biomass of weeds and simultaneously increased rice yield compared with the control.
