Abstract:
اجريت تجربتين, حقلية ومختبرية, لدراسة التاثير الاليلوباثي لمسحوق الاوراق الجافة او الطرية لنبات اليوكالبتوس ومستخلصاتها (المستخلص الايثانولي, الزيت, التربينات, القلويدات والفينولات) في الانبات وصفات النمو الخضري والزهري ومحتوى بعض العناصر المعدنية, السكري | Two experiments were carried out, field and laboratory experiment, to study the allelopathic effect of dry or fresh leaves and their extracts of Eucalyptus sp. on four ornamental plants; Calendula officinalis, Tagetes patula, Mathiola incana and Asteriscus graveolens Less. The two experiments were conducted at the field of College of Agriculture/Al - Qadisiya University during the period from 31/10/2012 to 14/3/2013. For the field experiment, dry and fresh leaves of Eucalyptus were used at the rate of 0, 2, 3, or 6 g dry leaves/Kg soil or at the rate of 0, 4, 8, or 12g fresh leaves/kg soil. Plant height, changes in height during plant life time - course, number of branches, number of flowers, and flower diameter were measured. In addition, chlorophyll content in leaves, anthocyanin in petals, dry weight, nitrogen percent, potassium and phosphorous content in leaves were also determined. For the laboratory experiment, ethanol extract, oil, terpenes, alkaloid, and phenols extracted from Eucalyptus leaves at different concentrations were used. Seed germination, coefficient velocity of germination, plumule and radical length, sugar, protein, melanodialdehyde, glutathione and proline content were evaluated. The results were as follow : 1. Ethanolic extract was negatively affect the percent and coefficient velocity of germination in addition to plumule and radicle length. The reduction in these parameters was greater at the highest concentration of the extract, especially in Calendula officinalis. 2. Treatment with oil extracted from Eucalyptus leaves caused a significant reduction in percent and coefficient velocity of germination, plumule and radical length. 3. Terpenes, alkaloids or phenols treatments at different concentrations resulted in significant reduction in percent and coefficient velocity of germination, plumule and radical length. The reduction was increased as the concentration of the treatments increased. 4. Plant height decreased significantly due to the treatment with dry or fresh Eucalyptus leaves, the reduction in plant height increased as the concentration of the treatment increases in all plants except Asteriscus graveolens plant which showed that the small concentrations of both treatments. It was close to ward in an increase in plant height. 5. Number of branches also significantly decreased when ornamental plants treated with dry or fresh Eucalyptus leaves; the Calendula officinalis plant was the most affected. 6. For the changes in ornamental plants height, as a result of treatment with dry or fresh leaves of Eucalyptus, during life time - course, it was clear the growth curve was close to the S - shape growth curve with obvious significant differences for most treatments compare to control. 7. Dry weight percent was significantly affected in all ornamental plants when they treated with dry or fresh Eucalyptus leaves, If decreased with the concentration of the treatments increased. 8. It was obvious that treatment with dry or fresh Eucalyptus leaves resulted in significant reduction in flower number and flower diameter. Number of flowers decreased as the concentration of the treatments increased. on the other hand, flower was diameter increased as the concentration of the treatments increased, but in both cases it was less than the control. All one obvious that reducing significant in flower diameter, It was reducing great in low levels. 9. Chlorophyll content was also decreased in leaves, while anthocyanin content in petals was increased when the ornamental plants treated with dry or fresh Eucalyptus leaves. 10. Nirogen percent, phosphorus and potassium content in leaves of the four ornamentals decreased when they treated with dry or fresh Eucalyptus leaves. 11. Using terpenes, alkaloids and phenols caused significant increase in sugar content in leaves of the ornamentals, reaching its highest values at the highest concentration of the terpenes. For protein content, it was gradually decreased as the terpens, alkaloids and phenols concentrations increased in Calendula officinalis. In Tagetes patula, protein content was noticeably increased with the increasing in concentrations of the treatments. 12. Malondialdehyde, glutathione and proline content increased significantly in Calendula officinalis and Tagetes patula plants when they treated with terpenes, alkaloids or phenols. 13. Interaction between treatments concentrations and kind of plants had significant effect on all parameters measured.
