Allelopathic effects of six alfalfa varieties at three stubbles on the germination, seedling and root growth of green foxtail and barnyardgrass. by Meixuan Li, Xiaohan Gai, Qian Bai, Fanru Xu, Shipu Cheng, Fuhong Miao, Qingwei Liang, Juan Sun, Yufang Xu

“…The results suggested that: (1) The allelopathy of six alfalfa varieties tested showed obvious intraspecific differences, the inhibition of Zhongmu No.3 on green foxtail and barnyardgrass was weaker than other varieties, with the values of synthetical allelopathic effect (SAE) were -0.55 and -0.29, respectively. (2) The inhibitory effect of alfalfa extracts on green foxtail was enhanced with the increase of stubbles, while the differences between three stubbles on barnyardgrass were not clear, especially between the first and second stubbles. (3) Compared with barnyardgrass (SAE = -0.39 ~ -0.29), green foxtail (SAE = -0.65 ~ -0.52) was generally more susceptible to the extracts. (4) The inhibitory effect of alfalfa extracts on root was stronger than seedling in the same weed. …”
