Abstract: The purpose of this work is to evaluate the allelopathic effect of herbage cold water extracts of two species of perennial grasses, Dactylis glomerata and Festuca arundinacea and two species perennial legumes:Trifolium repens and Lotus corniculatus on seed germination (%) and seedling development (shoot and root lenght) on , Lolium perene and Phleum pratense and on themselves. The experiment was carried out in petri dishes and the measurements were performed after 14 days. Seed germination, growth and development of roots and shoots of the perennial grasses and legumes studied were influenced by the concentration of the substrate solution, by the donor species of vegetal extract and by the tested species. Regarding the roots and shoots development on the 4 solutions extract, we noticed that the reaction was very different depending on the species. The inhibitory effect of the tested extracts was the strongest on the species Dactylis glomerata and Trifolium repens regarding both seed germination and seedling development, and the least affected were Lolium perenne and Lotus corniculatus. Positive allelopathic effect was noted at the seedling development at Lolium perenne species.
Keywords: allelopathy, grasses. legumes, germination, shoots and roots development
