ABSTRACT

Decline in crop yield in cropping and agroforestry system in recent years has been attributed to allelopathic effects. Plants may favourably or adversely affect other plants through allelochemicals, which may be released directly or indirectly from live or dead plants. The objective of this study was to examine and quantify the nature of interference of leaf leachates of Gliricidia sepium and Acacia auriculiformis on seed germination and seedling vigour of maize and to identify morphological trait for allelopathic interference assessment of maize seedlings. Leaf leachates of both Gliricidia and Acacia significantly decreased germination percentage and increased mean germination time (P
