Abstract

Allelopathy is a mutual biological occurrence in which the growth,  development, and reproduction of other organisms are impacted by  the biochemicals produced by one organism. Allelochemicals are a  class of biochemicals that can either benefit or harm the target species.  Plant allelopathy is one of the ways that receptor and donor plants  interact, and it can have either beneficial or negative effects. Organic  soluble plant extracts have an inhibitory impact. A dose–response  relationship analysis is required in bioassay laboratory tests, since the  stronger inhibitory impact of higher concentration extracts may be  attributed not only to allelopathy but also to enhanced osmotic  potential. The negative effect on seedling growth is often larger in  bioassays than the influence on germination rate. To study the effect  of Chenopodium on wheat crop was studied by applying leaf extract of  Chenopodium murale on wheat plant. The weed samples of C. murale were collected from fields and road sides of the University. The  different concentration of Chenopodium extract (i.e. 50%, 75%,  100%) were appliedon wheat plants. The results after three days were  compared with the control. The result shows that Chenopodium has  less inhibitory effect at lower concentration and strong inhibitory  effect at higher concentration.
