A pot trial in greenhouse conditions has been carried out to investigate the role of some plants species in suppression of Ambrosia artemisiifolia and Iva xanthiifolia growh. Screening of several plant species (Medicago sativa L., Lolium perenne L., Dactylis glomerata L., and Elymus repens (L.) Gould - all from both turf and seeds) was conducted. The results of the experiment showed that some perennial plants, especially L. perenne, D. glomerata, and M. sativa, can be a reliable means of suppression of the growth and seed production of A. artemisiifolia and I. xanthiifolia. Moreover, simple greenhouse screening turned to be a reliable method for predicting this potential suppressive role under certain conditions.
