Allelopathic effects of invasive weed species Abutilon theophrasti Medik., Ambrosia artemisiifolia L., Datura stramonium L. and Xanthium strumarium L. on tomato
Abstract
Abutilon theophrasti Medik, Ambrosia artemisiifolia L., Datura stramonium L. and Xanthium
strumarium L. are four well-known invasive weed species that are widespread in many
crops. Laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate the allelopathic effects of
decomposition products of these four invasive weeds on seed germination and early
seedling growth of tomato. The results of the study showed that decomposition products
obtained from A. theophrasti, A. artemisiifolia, D. stramonium and X. strumarium had different
allelopathic impacts on germination and seedling growth of tomato. The degree of
inhibition or stimulation depended on weed species and type of decomposition product.
Root decomposition products of all species except X. strumarium decreased the early
growth of tomato (2-37%). X. strumarium had only stimulating effect on early growth of
tomato (1-86%). Also, the results showed that leaves of the other three invasive weed
species had stimulating effects on early growth of tomato (1-53%). Hence, the allelopathic
potential of X. strumarium, as well as the leaf decomposition products of the other three
invasive weed species could be used to develop an appropriate technology to improve
tomato production.
