Effects of four culture media (soil, sponge, sand and liquid) on the results of allelopathic potentials of dwarf
lilyturf (Ophiopogonjaponicus) seedlings against Bidens pilosa L. were investigated. The results showed that the effects of
different concentration (140, 1200, and 1400) of leaf extracts from dwarf lilyturf on the growth of B. pilosa were significantly
different among the four culture media. Meanwhile, the root morphological structure (root length, root surface area and root
volume, etc.) of B. pilosa also differed when the plants were cultivated in different culture media. Seletion of culture
medium could significantly affect the outcomes of study. |
