Effect of Persian Galbanum (Ferula Gummosa L.) Extract on Seed Germination and Growth of Some Weeds

Persian galbanum seeds have hard dormancy, and washing has a good effect on seed dormancy breaking; it seems that Galbanum seeds are a source of inhibitor material. In this study, we evaluated the allelopathic effects of seed, stem and root aqueous extract of Galbanum in three concentrations (10, 5...

Description
Summary:Persian galbanum seeds have hard dormancy, and washing has a good effect on seed dormancy breaking; it seems that Galbanum seeds are a source of inhibitor material. In this study, we evaluated the allelopathic effects of seed, stem and root aqueous extract of Galbanum in three concentrations (10, 5 and 2.5%) on seed germination and seedling growth of three weeds (common amaranth, purslane and wild barley) with pre and post-emergence method. Research methods are further described, and results are discussed.
