Four emergent macrophytes (semi-aquatic plants), Centrostachys aquatica, Polygomum pulchrum, Ischaenum hirtum and Hymenachne acutigluma, grow abundantly worldwide in natural wetlands and fresh waterways. To discover novel bio-resources for weed management, we have assessed the allelopathic potential of the aqueous methanol extracts of these species on the growth of two terrestrial weeds: barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli (L). Beauv.) and rye grass (Lolium multiforum Lam), and three model test plants: alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), cress (Lepidium sativum L.), lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.). Among the aqueous methanol extracts of the four emergent macrophytes, the C. aquatica aqueous methanol extract showed the greatest inhibitory activity, completely inhibiting the shoot and root growth of rye grass (0.1 and 0.3 g dry weight equivalent extract, respectively) and barnyard grass (1g dry weight equivalent extract). The inhibitory activity of the H. acutigluma aqueous methanol extract on shoot growth of test plant was greater than P. pulchrum and I. hirtum while aqueous methanol extract of the P. pulchrum inhibited root growth greater than H. acutigluma and I. hirtum. The inhibitory efficacy of these emergent macrophytes was dependent on their potential activity, the test plant species and concentration of the extracts. The present results that all plants may contain allelopathically active substances and that C. quatica may contain the greatest herbicidal substance(s).
