Adverse effects of Eucalyptus camaldulensis (Dehn) leaf extract on germination and seedling growth of wheat
1999
El Atta, H. | Basheir, Intsar A.
The effect of water extracts from fresh and dry leaves of Eucalyptus camaldulensis obtained by distillation was tested against seed germination and seedling growth of wheat. The mean germination percentage on blotters was 100% 20% and 0.0% in the control, dry and fresh leaf oil, respectively, whereas in sand it was 100%, 66% and 39.5% in the control and dry and leaf fresh oil respectively. Oil extracted from fresh leaves was more effective than that from dry leaves. The effect was significantly correlated with oil concentration.
