Bioherbicidal effects of batawali leaf extract on weed control, and rice growth and yield

Synthetic chemicals have been the only economical way to control weeds for the longest time. Nevertheless, the side effects of using chemical means are undeniably harmful towards humans and nature. This study was done to look for alternative for these harmful chemicals by using natural chemical or a...

This study was done to look for alternative for these harmful chemicals by using natural chemical or allelochemicals, in this case using T. tuberculata (Batawali) leaves extract as the applied herbicide on rice production. The effect of T. tuberculata leaves extract on weed control, rice growth and yield were studied on four different varieties namely MR219, MR220, MR263, and MR269 under glasshouse condition in Ladang 10, UPM.

The only variety that was significantly affected by T. tuberculata application was MR219, which the growth of the variety particularly on its height was affected in the beginning but on yield part, no significant effect was recorded.
