- Abstract
Some plants can prevent seed germination and other plants’ growth by producing poisonous allelochemical ingredients. This research aimed to study the effect of basil leaves extracts on the germination characteristics of several vegetables. The experiment was conducted in factorial based on a completely random design with three replications. The experimental treatments were three types of vegetables (green mustard, green spinach, and water spinach) and five-level of basil leaf extracts (with concentrations 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 percent). Results showed that there were significant differences between the concentrations of basil leaves extracts, vegetable types, and interaction between both of them for all studied traits (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the treatment of vegetable types in the germination rate and germination percentage parameters. The extract of basil leaves at 100 g / 200 ml of water (0.5 g/ml of water) had the effect of reducing germination rate and germination percentage of green mustard and water spinach. In the present study, increasing the concentration of basil extracts from zero to 100% in all three types of vegetables decreased significantly germination rate, germination percentage, radicle length, plumule length, and seed vigor index.
