In this study, the allelopathic effect of leaf leachate of Eucalyptus camaldulensis Labill was examined on germination, growth, morphological and physiological criteria of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) and kidney-bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). Leaf leachate was tried at 5, 10 and 20% concentrations and sterilized distilled water used as control. Seed germination, seedlings dry matter, shoot/root length were significantly reduced by all concentrations in both species (at 0/05 level). Decrease in chlorophyll content, soluble sugar content and consequently protein content is proportional to the increase in concentration of leaf leachate in both species. ER -
