Abstract
Evaluates the allelopathic effects of Polygonella myriophylla in the scrub ecosystem. Polygonella myriophylla is surrounded by bare zones. Germination and grow of grasses was lower in soil from P. myriophylla and surrounding bare zones. Growth and germination of Paspalum notatum (bahiagrass) was significantly reduced when grown in P. myriophylla soil.Suggested Citation
