Abstract

Laboratory studies on the seed powder and water extract of seeds of Cassia tora and Cassia uniflora on the germination of Parthenium seeds was studied. Seed powders of both weeds were much inhibitory on seed germination of Parthenium than the water extract. Seed powder of Cassia tora showed maximum germination inhibition of 98% and water extract of 67%, whereas seed powder of C. uniflora showed germination inhibition of 95% and water extract of 61%. The results showed that the C. tora seed powder and water extract of its seeds showed much inhibitory effect than C. uniflora on Parthenium.

Key words: Cassia tora, Cassia uniflora, seed extract; Parthenium hysterophorus.
