Selected Phenolic Acids Inhibit the Initial Growth of L.

This study aimed to investigate whether different doses of specific phenolic acids (chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, -hydroxybenzoic acid, syringic acid, vanillic acid, and -coumaric acid), alone or in combination, can inhibit the early growth of the common ragweed ( L., Asterales: Asteraceae). A seed bioassay was performed in Petri dishes and placed in a climate chamber to assess the effects of five dose levels of phenolic acids to radicle and shoot length, as well seedling biomass of .
