The allelopathic potential of Pueraria thunbergiana was investigated under laboratory conditions. The powder of freeze-dried leaves of P. thunbergiana inhibited the germination and the growth of roots and shoots of cress, lettuce, timothy and ryegrass. Significant reductions in the germination and growth of roots and shoots were observed as the powder concentration increased in all bioassays. The putative compounds causing the inhibitory effect of the powder were isolated and determined by their spectral data as cis.trans- and trans,trans-xanthoxin

Keywords: allelopathy; germination inhibitor; growth inhibitor; phytotoxicity; weed management
Subjects: allelochemicals; germination; Lactuca sativa; Lepidium sativum; Phleum pratense; phytotoxicity; Pueraria thunbergiana; xanthoxin, cis,trans- and trans,trans-
