Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: Allelochemical are natural compounds which effects the growth of surrounding plants.The treatment of aqueous powder extracts of Capsicum annuum L. and Coriandrum sativum L. at 1% showed significant decreased in shoot, root and seedling height, leaves growth and biomass of mung bean (Vigna radiata).The inhibitory effect on growth performance was directly related with the increasing concentration of powder extracts of coriander.The seedlings of both legume bean were tested for the determination of toxicity and tolerance to red chilli and coriander powder extract treatment at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5%.The seedlings of mung bean and cowpea showed lowest percentage of tolerance indices to coriander and red chilli powder extract treatment at 5%.However, on comparison, the seedlings of cowpea showed more tolerance to coriander and red chili powder extract than mung bean.
