Abstract Eragrostis plana (Nees) (Tough Lovegrass) shows ability to interfere with other plants, a phenomenon known as allelopathy. This chemical interaction between plants occurs due to the release of compounds into the environment. Thus, a phytotoxicity study was carried out with E. plana roots collected during each season throughout the year, and the compounds were extracted with solvents of increasing polarity. The data from the bioassays were analyzed by GLM and PCA. In addition, a fingerprint of these extracts was obtained by HPLC-DAD. The extracts in petroleum ether from roots collected in the winter and summer showed greater phytotoxicity on Ipomoea grandifolia germination and growth. The PCA obtained from the chromatogram of the crude extract showed that the extracts in petroleum ether were chemically different from the extracts in ethyl acetate and methanol. Thus, continuing this study in order to develop a new generation of bio-herbicides is essential.
