Abstract :
Oats (Avena sativa L.) possess allelopathic properties and can serve as effective cover crops to inhibit weed growth. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the aqueous extract and formulated extract of oats with chitosan nanoparticles on the germination of red root pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus) in the year 2021. The experiment was designed using a factorial based on a completely randomized design, with three repetitions. The experimental treatments included the type of extract (aqueous extract of oats and formulated extract of oats with chitosan nanoparticles) and six control concentrations (distilled water and chitosan without plant extract), 10, 50, 100, 150, and 200 g/L. The results of the study demonstrated that the interaction between the type of extract and different concentrations significantly affected the evaluated traits at the probability level of 1%. The percentage of germination in the aqueous extract of oats and its formulated extract with chitosan nanoparticles in concentrations of 100, 150, and 200 were zero, 16.66, 15.33, and 5.33%, respectively. Also, increasing the concentration of the extract formulated with chitosan caused a decrease in germination rate (85.46, 87.95, and 96.10%), mean daily germination percentage (82.75, 84.20, and 94.49%), seedling vigor index (85.53, 87.60 and 97.71%) and synchronization index (45.76, 47.90 and 14.75%) of the red root pigweed compared to chitosan without plant extract. These findings suggest that of the aqueous extract of oats had a greater inhibition on the germination the red root pigweed weed.
