The Achillea genus shows significant potential as a natural bioherbicide. Its plant residues effectively control redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus L.) growth, offering a sustainable weed management solution.

Area of Science:

Agricultural Science
Plant Science
Ecology

Background:

Plant allelopathy offers sustainable weed management strategies.
Medicinal plants, including the Achillea genus, are increasingly valued for their bioherbicidal properties.
Redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus L.) is a significant agricultural weed.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the allelopathic effects of Achillea species on redroot pigweed growth.
To identify effective Achillea species and their residues for weed control.
To explore the relationship between allelochemicals and bioherbicidal activity.

Main Methods:

An allelopathy experiment was conducted using dry material from various Achillea species and Tanacetum polycephalum.
Five different ratios of aerial dry material (0-50 g kg⁻¹ dry weight) were applied to soil in pots.

Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) and partial least squares regression were used to analyze essential oils and identify active compounds.

Main Results:

Achillea residues significantly inhibited redroot pigweed growth.
Achillea vermicolaris and A. aleppica were most effective, reducing pigweed dry matter by up to 90%.
Specific compounds like cis-Menth-2-en-1-ol, α-Terpinyl propionate, and Bornyl acetate were identified as key inhibitors.

Conclusions:

The Achillea genus demonstrates substantial potential as a bioherbicide for controlling redroot pigweed.
Achillea plant residues or mulch can be utilized as an effective cover crop for weed management.
This research supports the use of neglected plant species in sustainable agriculture.
