  • Descrição: •Extracts, volatiles, leachates, root exudates and residues of different vegetable crops exhibited different degrees of phytotoxicity on selected annual weeds.•Weeds were varied in their responses to donors phytotoxins.•Crops materials inhibited weeds seed germination and growth at high doses and some promoted growth of certain weeds at low rates.•Root exudates of radish, cauliflower and bean were most toxic to A. retroflexus, C. murale and S. nigrum while M. sylvestris was least affected by phytotoxicity of all vegetable crops tested. Phytotoxic effects of some vegetable crops including bean, cabbage, cauliflower, eggplant, pepper, potato, radish and tomato were investigated against Amaranthus retroflexus, Chenopodium murale, Eruca sativa, Malva sylvestris, Portulaca oleracea and Solanum nigrum weed species under laboratory and glasshouse conditions. Shoot extracts, foliage leachates and volatile materials of different crops significantly reduced seed germination and seedlings growth of different weed species in Petri-dishes. Leachates of cauliflower, pepper and potato were highly toxic to weeds. Extracts effects were concentration-dependent and roots were more inhibited than shoots. The effects of crops soil-incorporated dried shoot residues were varied on weeds and ranged from highly toxic to stimulatory. Residues of cabbage, cauliflower and bean were most toxic, while A. retroflexus, C. murale and P. oleracea were most sensitive weeds. Decayed residues of tomato, cabbage, bean and eggplant in the soil were most toxic to the tested weeds. Soil-applied extracts significantly reduced germination and growth of certain weeds. Growing weeds in the same soil after crops severely reduced shoot dry weight of most weed species with radish, cauliflower and bean were most toxic to A. retroflexus, C. murale and S. nigrum. Among weeds, M. sylvestris was most tolerant.
