Allelopathic Effects of Walnut Plants (Juglans regia L.) on Four Crop Species

네종 작물에 대한 Juglans regia L.의 알레로패티 효과

Walnut (Juglans regia L.) is a common cultivated and wild deciduous tree in the temperate regions of Pakistan and elsewhere. A bare or poor understorey of wild or cultivated species is frequently observed beneath and around it. Soil analysis indicated insignificant differences in nutrient status of soils taken from areas with or without walnut influence. Field investigations revealed that the height, shoot, fresh and dry weight of potato, turnip, corn and bean significantly decreased in the walnut-influenced parts of the field compared to their counter-parts in the same field but without walnut influence. Aqueous extracts from various parts, shoot litter, natural rain leachates and soil collected from beneath walnut significantly reduced the germination, early seedling growth, fresh and dry weight, and moisture contents of corn, turnip and bean in various laboratory experiments. Ferulic, p-coumaric, caffeic, vanillic, jJ-hydroxybenzoic, chlorogenic and gallic acid were identified as the possible allelopathic substances in the aquous extracts and rain leachates of the walnut tree. The findings suggest that the observed poor growth of crops is due to allelopathic effects of walnut.walnut.

Juglans regia L. 나무밑에는 다른 식물이 잘 자라지 못하고 있다. 그래서 그 임상토양, 수용추출액, 빗물 등을 써서 작물을 심어 본 결과 발아와 생장이 심하게 억제되었다. 그 억제물질을 찾기 위해서 Juglans regia L. 나무의 수용추출액과 빗물을 종이크로마토그래피법으로 분석하여 ferulic acid, p-coumaric acid, caffeic acid, vanillic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, chlorogenic acid, gallic acid를 분리확인했으며, 이 물질들이 억제작용에 관계한 것으로 추정한다.
