Article Synopsis
- Eucalyptus leaf extracts, both aqueous and methanolic, were tested for their allelopathic effects on three Ethiopian wheat cultivars, showing that they inhibit growth, biomass, and crop yield significantly.
- A pot experiment used various concentrations of Eucalyptus camaldulensis extracts, revealing that the 20% methanolic extract had the most severe impact, reducing chlorophyll fluorescence and affecting both shoot and root growth.
- The study concludes that planting eucalyptus near crops is detrimental to agricultural productivity, suggesting that it should be avoided on farming land.
Faba bean is one of the most important grown plants worldwide for human and animal. Despite its various importance, the productivity of faba bean has been constrained by several biotic and abiotic factors. Many faba bean pathogens have been reported so far, of which the most important yield limiting disease is Chocolate Spot Disease (Botrytis fabae).
