  PHYTOTOXICITY OF FUMARIA INDICA ON WHEAT

S.M. CHAGHTAI, ABDUS SADIQ AND MOHAMMAD IBRAR

Abstract: The allelopathic potential of Fumaria indica (Hausskn.) Pugsley was tested in laboratory experi¬ments. The aqueous extracts from the plant parts significantly inhibited germination and growth of Triticum aestivum L. var. Blue Silvar. The toxicity varied from part to part and also depended upon the amount of the plant material used, the soaking period and the freshness of the material assayed. Dry leaves were found to be highly toxic.
