Abstract :

The present paper deals with allelopathic potential of Chenopodium album L. on germination and seedling growth of Brassica juncea (L.) Czern. The present research work done under laboratory experiment in research lab. of Biology Department, R. R. Mehta College of Science, Palanpur. Four concentration (2%,4%,6%,10%) of aqueous extracts of Chenopodium album L. of leaf, stem and root were used. The seeds of Brassica juncea (L.) Czern. were placed in petridishes containing the leaf, stem, root extract, and distilled water (control medium). Percent seed germination was taken after a week and then shoot and root length was recorded. The result revealed that higher concentration (10%) of Chenopodium album L. extract, reduced the seed germination of Brassica juncea (L.) Czern. While 100% seed germination obtained in DW. root and shoot length of Brassica juncea (L.) Czern. were also significantly suppressed at higher concentration (6% and 10%) of Chenopodium album L. while lower concentration (2% and 4%) of the extract promoted shoot length of Brassica juncea (L.) Czern.
