ABSTRACT
The present study was designed to check the allelopathic effects of aqueous extract of wild radish on pea seedling emergence and growth at Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, the University of Sargodha in 2021. The experiment was run in four replicates to avoid variance. Different concentrations of aqueous extract of wild radish (0.0 %, 3.0 %, 6%, 9.0% and 12.0 %) were applied on ten seed of pea. It was observed that maximum emergence percentage (94.25 %), shoot length (5.52 cm), root length (6.20 cm), fresh biomass (0.95 g), dry biomass (0.32 g), minimum time to start emergence (2.56 days), mean emergence time (4.51 days), time to complete 50% emergence (3.62 days), was observed under control while minimum emergence percentage (22.50 %), shoot length (0.95 cm), root length (1.11 cm), fresh biomass (0.18 cm), dry biomass (0.06 cm), maximum time to start emergence (6.08 days), mean emergence time (21.55 days), time complete 50% emergence (10.78 days) was observed with 12.0% aqueous extract concentration wild radish. The results revealed that wild radish extract put destructive effects on the emergence and seedling development of tested vegetables. It was observed that inhibitory effect depends on the level of concentration.
