ALLELOPATHIC EFFECTS OF MULTIPURPOSE TREE SPECIES Melia azedarach WITH EMPHASIS ON AGRICULTURAL CROPS (Pages : 70 - 77)
T. L. SHAPLA, R. PARVIN, M.H.A. AMIN AND S.M. RAYHANA pot experiment was conducted at the Agroforestry Farm, Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University during May 2009 to July 2009 to observe the allelopathic effects of Leucaena leucocephala, two agricultural crops viz: mungbean and soybean. There were five treatments viz: T1 (top soil); T2 (root zone soil); T3 (soil mulched with dry leaf); T4 (soil watered with aqueous leaf extract); T5 (control/fresh garden soil). The experiments were laid out in the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications. The results of the present studies revealed that inhibition of germination and growth parameters of mungbean and soybean were varied according to different parts of plants and soil from different place.
