Abstract
A number of glucosinolates and isothiocyanates were tested for their allelopathic potential against wheat. Most of the glucosinolates showed no activity against wheat, with the exception of glucobrassicin which was moderately active, as was sinapine thiocyanate. Isothiocyanates showed high activity against wheat germination and seedling growth. The most active compound, 2-phenethyl ITC completely inhibited wheat germination at 500 ppm. Allyl ITC showed high activity whereas other isothiocyanates tested were only moderately active. The data is discussed in relation to the possible use of some mustard species for effective weed control.
