The Evaluation of Allelopathic Effects of Verbascum cheiranthifolium Boiss. var. asperulum (Boiss.) Murb. and Salvia limbata C. A. Mey. Extracts on Zea mays L. and Portulaca oleraceae L. Seed Germination
There is a need for studies on allelopathy, which is an anternative way of fighting, instead of herbicides and t heir
harmful effects on environment. For this purpose, water and methanol extracts of Verbascum cheiranthifolium var.
asperulum and Salvia limbata taxa were used to determine allelopathic potential. The effects of Verbascum cheiranthifolium
var. asperulum and Salvia limbata extracts on seed germination of Portulaca oleraceae L. (purslane) and Zea mays L. (corn)
were evaluated. Radicle-plumule lengths and germination percentages of corn and purslane were decreased with increased
concentrations of water and methanol extracts onseeds. With more detailed and precise future studies, these extracts may be
suggested as a natural herbicide
