Studies on plant products have revealed that many of them may either act as fungicides, 1,
2) insecticides, 3) chemosterilants, 4, 5) moluscicides, 6) bactericides7) or as virucides. 8)
Although there are a number of reports on natural inhibitors of germination and growth, 9)
and on allelochemics, 10) little work seems to have been done with respect to their possible
selective effects, hence to their possible use as selective weedicides. Here we report a plant
product that many act as a selective weedicide.
