Περίληψη

Σε συνθήκες εργαστηρίου μελετήθηκε η ζιζανιοκτόνος δράση των αιθερίων ελαίων των

Satureja hortensis

L. και

Melissa officinalis

L. στη βλάστηση και το μήκος ριζιδίου των αγρωστωδών ζι-

ζανίων

Lollium rigidum

L. and

Phalaris brachystachys

L. Η καρβακρόλη και η κιτράλη ήταν τα κύρια συ-

στατικά των αιθερίων ελαίων των

S. hortensis

και

M. officinalis

, αντίστοιχα. Το αιθέριο έλαιο του

M. of-

ficinalis

επηρέασε περισσότερο τη βλάστηση του ζιζανίου

L. rigidum

και το μήκος ριζιδίου του ζιζανί-

ου

Ph. brachystachys

. Η ζιζανιοκτόνος δράση των αιθερίων ελαίων ήταν περισσότερο έντονη στο ζιζά-

νιο

Ph. brachystachys

.
