Efeitos alelopáticos do extrato aquoso de mastruz (Chenopodium ambrosioides L.) na germinação do tomateiro (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.)
Abstract
The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of aqueous extracts from leaves and fruits of Chenopodium ambrosioides L. on the percentage and rate of speed germination of tomato seeds. The treatments consisted of concentrated (100%) or diluted (25, 50 and 75% v/v) aqueous extracts. The lesser percentage of accumulated germination was verified in the boxes that received 100% and 75% v/v extract, which also required greater average time and showed minor average speed of germination.
