In Petri plate Lab. bioassays, we studied the effects of aqueous extracts (0, 5 and 10%) of nettle (Urtica dioica L.), chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) and dandelion (Taraxacum officinale L.) as donor species on germination and seedling growth of wild mustard (Sinapis arvensis L.), common mallow (Malva neglecta Waller.) and canary grass (Phalaris minor Retz.) as recipient species. We found that weed species differed from each other in terms of germination and seedling growth. The aqueous extracts inhibited the seed germination and seedling growth of weeds. The 10% chamomile extract significantly reduced germination percentage, root length and seedling dry weight in all weeds. The effect inhibitory of nettle extract on seed germination and seedling growth was more pronounced than dandelion extract.
