ABSTRACT: The present study involves phytochemical investigation, phenol content and allelopathic potential of Croton heliotropiifolius Kunth extract in the germination of Digitaria insularis (L.) Fedde. with extracts ethanolic and aqueous of C. heliotropiifolius leaf; was performed prospected secondary metabolites and Ultraviolet–visible (UV–visible) spectrophotometry tests for total phenols ...
The use of saline water in the production of vegetables is one of the main challenges for producers, since salt stress causes a decrease in crop production and yield. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the growth of arugula plants under irrigation water salinity levels. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse, with treatments being five levels of electrical conductivity of the irrigation water...
Weeds are a serious threat to agriculture because they compete with crops, thereby interfering in production. As such, this study aimed to assess weed control using soil solarization and mulching on the growth and yield of cowpea. A completely randomized design was used, with eight treatments and four repetitions. The treatments consisted of a combination of two management practices, namely soil solarization (w...
