Abstract

Cenchrus ciliaris and Chrysopogon aucheri are important range-grasses found in Pakistan every where upto 1800 metres. Field and laboratory experiments showed .that beside toxic root exudates,) voter extracts contained substances which proved to\ be inhibitory not only to its own growth but also to other species used in the bioassays The toxicity in both the cases increased with increasing concentration and soaking time. Cenchrus had more allelopahic potentiality than Chrysopogon. The toxicity in both the cases was species related. The possible effect of allelopathy of these grasses is discussed in relation to the vegetation dynamics .
