Abstract

Allelopathic effects of some newly developed/identified strains of commercially important species viz. Harar (TerrninaJia chebuJa and Reetha (Sapindus mukorossh were studied on germination and growth of commonly grown cereals, pulses and vegetable crops under laboratory conditions. The tested crops viz., Wheat, Maize, Gram, Lentil, Peas and Brinjal responded differently to aqueous leaf extracts of Harar and Reetha indicating the presence of different phyto-active compounds which are either phytotoxic or germination and growth promoters. Some strains had synergistic or no adverse effect on germination and growth of tested field crops whereas other had antagonistic effect
