  • ALLELOPATHIC EFFECT of INVASIVE SPECIES GIANT GOLDENROD (SOLIDAGO GIGANTEA AIT.) on CROPS and WEEDS* Renata Baličević, Marija
    Herbologia, Vol. 15, No. 1, 2015 DOI 10.5644/Herb.15.1.03 ALLELOPATHIC EFFECT OF INVASIVE SPECIES GIANT GOLDENROD (SOLIDAGO GIGANTEA AIT.) ON CROPS AND WEEDS* Renata Baličević, Marija Ravlić, Tea Živković* Faculty of Agriculture, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, Kralja Petra Svačića 1d, 31000 Osijek, Croatia, corresponding author: [email protected] *Student, Graduate study Abstract The aim of the study was to determine allelopathic potential of inva- sive species giant goldenrod (Solidago gigantea Ait.) on germination and initial growth crops (carrot, barley, coriander) and weed species velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti Med.) and redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus L.). Experiments were conducted under laboratory conditions to determine effect of water extracts in petri dish bioassay and in pots with soil. Water extracts from dry aboveground biomass of S. gigantea in concentrations of 1, 5 and 10% were investigated. In petri dish bioassay, all extract con- centrations showed allelopathic effect on germination and seedling growth of crops with reduction over 25 and 60%, respectively. Both weed species germination and growth were greatly suppressed with extract application. In pot experiment, allelopathic effect was less pronounced. Reduction in emergence percent, shoot length and fresh weight of carrot were observed. Barley root length and fresh weight were reduced with the highest extract concentration. No significant effect on seedling emergence and growth of A. theophrasti was recorded, while emergence of A. retroflexuswas inhib- ited for 14.4%. Germination and growth of test species decreased propor- tionately as concentration of weed biomass in water extracts increased. Differences in sensitivity among species were recorded, with A. retroflexus being the most susceptible to extracts.

  • Allelopathic Effect of Invasive Species Giant Goldenrod (Solidago Gigantea Ait.) on Wheat and Scentless Mayweed
    8th international scientific/professional conference SECTION II Izvorni znanstveni rad / original scientific paper Allelopathic effect of invasive species giant goldenrod (Solidago gigantea Ait.) on wheat and scentless mayweed Marija Ravlić1, Renata Baličević1, Ana Peharda2 1Faculty of Agriculture, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, Kralja Petra Svačića 1d, Osijek, Croatia, e-mail: [email protected] 2Student, Faculty of Agriculture, Osijek, Croatia Abstract The aim of the research was to determine allelopathic potential of invasive species giant gol- denrod (Solidago giganetea Ait.) on germination and initial growth of wheat and weed species scentless mayweed (Tripleurospermum inodorum (L.) C.H. Schultz). Experiments were conducted under laboratory conditions to determine effect of water extracts in petri dish bioassay and in pots with soil. Water extracts from dry aboveground biomass of S. gigantea in concentrations of 1, 5 and 10 % (10, 50 and 100 g/l) were investigated. In petri dish bioassay, germination of wheat was slightly reduced, while all extract concentration inhibited wheat growth. T. inodorum germination and seedling growth was affected with higher extract concentration. Application of extract to pots had no effect on wheat emergence and growth, with the exception of 10 % extract which reduced root length. Emergence of T. inodorum was significantly decreased with 5 and 10 % extract for 38.5 and 49.0 %, respectively. Key words: allelopathy, Solidago gigantea Ait., crops, scentless mayweed, water extracts Introduction Excessive use of herbicides in most weed management systems is a major concern since it causes serious threats to the environment, public health and increases costs of crop production. The degree of weed seed germination inhibition and growth suppression which can be attributed to crop allelopathy is highly important and can be considered as a possible alternative weed management strategy (Asghari and Tewari, 2007., Macias, 1995.).

  • The Solidago Lepida Complex (Asteraceae: Astereae)
    Semple, J.C., H. Faheemuddin, M. Sorour, and Y.A. Chong. 2017. A multivariate study of Solidago subsect. Triplinerviae in western North America: The Solidago lepida complex (Asteraceae: Astereae). Phytoneuron 2017-47: 1–43. Published 18 July 2017. ISSN 2153 733X A MULTIVARIATE STUDY OF SOLIDAGO SUBSECT. TRIPLINERVIVAE IN WESTERN NORTH AMERICA: THE SOLIDAGO LEPIDA COMPLEX (ASTERACEAE: ASTEREAE) JOHN C. SEMPLE , HARIS FAHEEMUDDIN , MARIAN K. SOROUR , AND Y. ALEX CHONG Department of Biology University of Waterloo Waterloo, Ontario Canada N2L 3G1 [email protected] ABSTRACT Solidago subsect. Triplinerviae includes four species native to western North America: S. altissima, S. elongata , S. gigantea, and S. lepida . All of these except S. gigantea have been included at one time or another within S. canadensis . While rather similar among themselves, each species is distinguished by different sets of indument, leaf, and inflorescence traits. A series of multivariate morphometric analyses were performed on 244 specimens to discover additional technical traits useful in separating the species and to elucidate problems with identification in a group of species complicated by multiple ploidy levels and considerable infraspecific variation. Statistical support for recognizing S. gigantea var. shinnersii and S. lepida var. salebrosa was generated in comparisons of the varieties with the typical variety in each species. Solidago subsect. Triplinerviae (Torrey & A. Gray) Nesom (Asteraceae: Astereae) includes 17 species native North and South America (Semple 2017 frequently updated). Semple and Cook (2006) recognized 11 species with infraspecific taxa in several species occurring in Canada and the USA: S. altiplanities Taylor & Taylor, S. altissima L., S. canadensis L., S. elongata Nutt., S.

  • Floristic Quality Assessment Report
    FLORISTIC QUALITY ASSESSMENT IN INDIANA: THE CONCEPT, USE, AND DEVELOPMENT OF COEFFICIENTS OF CONSERVATISM Tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) the State tree of Indiana June 2004 Final Report for ARN A305-4-53 EPA Wetland Program Development Grant CD975586-01 Prepared by: Paul E. Rothrock, Ph.D. Taylor University Upland, IN 46989-1001 Introduction Since the early nineteenth century the Indiana landscape has undergone a massive transformation (Jackson 1997). In the pre-settlement period, Indiana was an almost unbroken blanket of forests, prairies, and wetlands. Much of the land was cleared, plowed, or drained for lumber, the raising of crops, and a range of urban and industrial activities. Indiana’s native biota is now restricted to relatively small and often isolated tracts across the State. This fragmentation and reduction of the State’s biological diversity has challenged Hoosiers to look carefully at how to monitor further changes within our remnant natural communities and how to effectively conserve and even restore many of these valuable places within our State. To meet this monitoring, conservation, and restoration challenge, one needs to develop a variety of appropriate analytical tools. Ideally these techniques should be simple to learn and apply, give consistent results between different observers, and be repeatable. Floristic Assessment, which includes metrics such as the Floristic Quality Index (FQI) and Mean C values, has gained wide acceptance among environmental scientists and decision-makers, land stewards, and restoration ecologists in Indiana’s neighboring states and regions: Illinois (Taft et al. 1997), Michigan (Herman et al. 1996), Missouri (Ladd 1996), and Wisconsin (Bernthal 2003) as well as northern Ohio (Andreas 1993) and southern Ontario (Oldham et al.
