Field investigations in the summer of 2013 revealed that some undiscovered stressful factors had a significant impact on Citrullus vulgaris growth and yield in the Nobaria district of Egypt. Presumably, the problem was confined to the two combined causes of soil salinity and Tribulus terrestris inhibitory effects (a common weed dominant in C. vulgaris fields…

A range of allelopathic compounds have been found in Eucalyptus rostrata. Two noxious weeds, Chenopodium album and Portulaca oleracea, were studied for their allelopathic effect of Eucalyptus rostrata leaf (ERLAE) and bark (ERBAE) aqueous extracts on seed germination and seedling growth. Depending on the extract type and recipient species, the biological action of the two…

Allelopathy is a widespread biological phenomena that occurs when an allelopathic plant creates allelochemicals that affect the growth, survival, development, and reproduction of other plant species in the same habitat, either positively or adversely. Wild plants are plants that are abundant in nature, have the ability to reproduce quickly, and contain a variety of physiologically…

Gongronema latifolium is a plant that has a wide range of nutritional and ethnomedical uses in different tropical African communities. Scientific reports on the chemical composition and bioactivity (anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, antioxidant, anticancer and allelopathic properties) of the plant material by different authors are discussed in this review. Future prospects of the plant extracts in…
