Demonstrated in laboratory setting] The effects of allelopathy of Aphananthe aspera on the physiological activities of masson pine seedling was studied, using the biological identification method with litter extract solution. The results showed that He, P. Y., & Ding, G. J. (2007). Effects of allelopathy of the chlorophyll content and cell membrane permeability of the receptor aqueous extract of Aphananthe aspera on physiological plant were increased with different treatments of the donor; but activities of Pinus massoniana seedling. Journal of were reduced on photosynthetic rate and transpiration rate. The Guizhou Normal University (Natural Sciences), 4, 003 nitrogen and phosphorus absorption of donor Aphananthe aspera presented a trend of promotion in low concentration and an inhibition in high concentration, on the potassium absorption they expressed a certain accelerative effect." 403 Parasitic n Source(s) Notes Wu, Z.Y., Raven,P.H.
