Abstract
Weedy rice (Oryza sativa f. spontanea) poses significant challenges to rice production, reducing yield and commercial value. This study investigates the inhibitory effects of root, stem, and leaf extracts from cultivated rice OM5930 (60 days after sowing) on two weedy rice lines, WR19 (short awn) and WR20 (long awn). The objectives were to: (i) identify the most potent plant part for inhibition, (ii) determine the optimal treatment duration, and (iii) assess the resistance of the two weedy rice lines. Results demonstrated that extracts from all OM5930 plant parts suppressed seedling shoot and root growth in both weedy rice lines. Leaf extracts exhibited the strongest inhibition, achieving complete suppression (100%) at 0.3 g/mL across all time points (0, 48, and 96 hours). The 48-hour treatment showed the most stable inhibitory effect. Root and stem extracts displayed lower efficacy, reaching only 60–70% inhibition at the same concentration. WR20 was more susceptible than WR19, with a slight stimulation observed at lower concentrations (0.015 and 0.075 g/mL). The strong allelopathic potential of OM5930 leaf extracts suggests their application as an eco-friendly bioherbicide, reducing dependence on synthetic herbicides, minimizing production costs, and promoting sustainable rice cultivation.
