The green house based experiments were conducted in the Department of Botany FUUAST,Karachi to study the allelopathic effects of root and shoot leachates of Anagallis arvensis on thetwo test species viz., bajra and mungbean. The percentage of seed germination, speed ofgermination and radical elongation of the test species were recorded after 10 days. Both leachateshave no effect on seed germination and speed of germination of the test species. Radical elongationof two test species showed different response. Mung radical growth was significantly reduced whilebajra radical growth was significantly enhanced by the root leachate of weed.
