HIGHLIGHTS
- faba bean is an important protein crop in Egypt,Weeds compete for nutrients uptake,water, light, Sonchus oleraceus causes losses which controlled by weed management, Aqueous fresh extracts of Aloe vera plant were used as bioherbicidal against broad leaf weed Sonchus oleraceus, The results revealed the presence of high concentrations of natural substances suggesting using Aloe vera extract leaf extract as a bioherbicide

TOPICS
ABSTRACT
This study aimed to evaluate the bioherbicidal effect of aqueous fresh extracts of leaves
and roots of the Aloe vera plant on the broad leaf weed growth of Sonchus oleraceus associated
faba bean plants. During the winters of 2020/2021 and 2021/2022, two pot experiments
were carried out in the greenhouse of the National Research Center. Leaf and
root aqueous extracts of A. vera were applied as soil and/or spray treatments at different
concentrations. The results showed that there was significant inhibition in the fresh and
dry biomass of S. oleraceus and was maximum with application of soil treatment (10%)
of the leaf extract sequenced by spraying leaf extract at 20%. Furthermore, the inhibition
of the weed growth was accompanied by an increase in the growth and yield of faba bean.
The results indicated that phenols, flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins and saponins were present
in the leaf extract, and there were smaller amounts of tannins and saponins in the root
extract than in the leaf extract. Total phenols, flavonoids, alkaloids in the leaf extract was
more than three times that of the root extract. The results also revealed that the presence
of higher concentrations of natural substances in the leaf extract than in the root extracts
gave it its efficiency in inhibiting the growth of S. oleraceus weeds.
