摘要:Weeds are considered unwanted plants that cause damage to agricultural crop plants. They compete with crops, harbour diseases and insects and act as alternate host when present in the fields. Argemone mexicana L. is a notorious weed and is found growing abundantly along with many crop plants. Little work has been done to evaluate its allelopathic effect (Pandey et al. 1980). Molisch (1973) coined the term allelopathy which refers to all the biochemical interactions (stimulatory or inhibitory) among the plants. The present investigation deals with the study of allelopathic effect of A. mexicana on germination and seeding growth characteristics of lentil.
