ALLELOPATHIC POTENTIAL OF TAMARIX APHYLLA ON SEEDLING GROWTH OF CHICKPEA AND WHEAT
Asif Riaz
Abstract
Allelopathy of different plants is known on crops for negative impacts. Allelopathy of trees could be ecological filters for shaping the plant communities. However, a few literature available on phytotoxic potential of Tamaricaceae family. The current synthesis designed to assess phytotoxic potential of Tamarix aphylla on morphophysiological characteristics of chickpea and wheat. The results revealed the 48 %,84 % decrease in shoot length and root length of wheat, respectively. The root and shoot fresh weight of wheat decreased by 55%. The dry weights of shoot and root 13% and 73% respectively. The chickpea was more sensitive to allelochemicals comparative to wheat. Chickpea showed greater reduction in germination and seedling growth by application of aqueous extract of farash leaves.
