Abstract
Phytotoxic effects of soil incorporation with
Goniothalamus andersonii bark powder against Cucumis
sativus (cucumber), Trifolium repens (white clover),
Lactuca sativa (lettuce) and Lolium perenne (perennial
ryegrass) were evaluated under the greenhouse
condition for possible utilization as weed suppression.
The growth of tested plants was reduced significantly
after 14 days of incorporation where the degree of
inhibition was dose dependent.
