Abstract

Over recent years new bioherbicides compounds from natural sources has gained much interest from the researcher’s world widely. In this study the phytotoxicity of the crude extract and its various fractions from both the stem and leaves of Acer pentapomicum (maple plant) against Lemna minor has been studied. All the fractions except aqueous extract have exhibited highly significant phytotoxicity at different concentration when compared Paraquat as a positive control. The highest herbicidal activities of 87%, was exhibited by butanol extracted samples from stem, followed by chloroform and ethyl acetate exhibiting 81% and 80% respectively. Our results confirmed that both leaves and stem extracted samples possess potent inhibitory activity against Lemna minor.
