Abstract
Current agricultural practices involved in weed management rely strongly on the use of synthetic herbicides. Therefore an alternative approach such as the use of natural products-based weed management consists of having crops produce their own phytotoxins to prevent or suppress the growth of competing weeds should be taken into consideration. The study aims to assess allelopathic potential of four edible gingers; Etlingera coccinea Blume S. Saki Nagam tuhau Curcuma longa L.turmeric Languas galanga L. Stuntz greater galanga and Zingeber officinale Roscoe ginger. Three invasive weeds included in the study were Imperala cylindrica Paspalulm conjugatum and Cyperus pilosus. Weed seed bioassay was performed using hexane and methanol extracts of the gingers. The future of weed management will probably be significantly influenced by natural products research. This study is an effort to harness the power of natural products for weed management.
