Abstract:
      Allelopathy effects of different concentrations of Juglans regia leaf extracts on the germination and seedling growth of corn (Zea mays), peanut (Arachis hypogae), garden pea (Pisum sativum) and pepper (Capsicum annum) were investigated. The results indicated that different concentrations of J. regia leaf aqueous extracts had various degrees inhib ition on each test target of the four crops. The inhibition increased with the increasing concentration of extracts. Compared with the CK, they had significant inhibitory effects on the germination energy and root length. As the concentration of the extracts declined, the inhibition decreased, and the 0.025 g/mL leaf aqueous extract of J. regia even changed into stimulating effects, illustrated the double effects of concentration. According to the inhibition synthesis effect, pepper was the most sensitive receptor to the allelochemicals of J. regia leaf, the second were garden pea and corn,and peanut was the least sensitive receptor.
