We evaluated the allelopathic effect of invasive species Cynodon dactylon from a natural grassland and overseeding intersowing with legumes fertilization phosphorus, on two native grasses, Paspalum notatum dilatatum. Due to what was observed in fertilized grasslands, where cover C. increases, P. decreases dilatatum is not affected, it expected that allelochemicals grasslands would have negative...

BACKGROUND Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon; subfamily Chloridoideae) is an important source of seasonal aeroallergens in warm tropical and sub-tropical areas worldwide. Improved approaches to diagnosis and therapy of allergic diseases require a thorough understanding of the structure and epitopes on the allergen molecule that are crucial for the antigen-antibody interaction. This study describe...

citrus blast is one of the important diseases of citrus in north of iran. the disease causes considerable damage during and immediately after the cold seasons. the causal agents have epiphytic survival on diverse weeds during spring and summer. during 2009-2010, samples were collected from several candidate weed plants including: poa annua, phalaris canariensis, sorghum halepense, cynodon dacty...

This study evaluates the feasibility of using the grass species Rendlia altera, Monocymbium ceresiiforme, Cynodon dactylon, and amendments (compost and lime) for the phytostabilisation of soils contaminated by Cu in the province of Katanga (Democratic Republic of Congo). Species were grown on control and Cu-contaminated plots (artificially contaminated with 2,500 mg kg(-1) Cu) unamended (NA), a...
