Effect Of Aqueous Leaf, Stem And Root Extracts Of Mimosa Invisa (Jacq) On Germination And Seedling Growth Of Maize (Zea Mays Linneaus,) And Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata,) (L) WaLp.
ABSTRACT
The effect of aqueous extracts of leaf, stern and root of
Mimosa invisa (Jacq) on the germination and seedling growth of maize (zea mays)
and cowpea. (V/gna unguicu/ala) was investigated. The concentrated extracts and
its dilutions 1: 1, 1 :2.5 v/v were prepared from the undiluted extracts and
distilled water served as control. Although the extracts inhibited the
germination of maize, ide effect was not significant. The reduction in
percentage germination increased with increase in concentration of extracts in
both plant species tested. There was an increase (P0.05) in plant height and
dry weight of the plant compared with the control, the increase was not
significant. This indicates that seeding growth of maize and cowpea was
negatively affected by the aqueous extracts. Low concentration of the extracts
lead to decreased plant height and dry matter weight of the plants. Furdier
studies to compare the bioactivity of Mimosa invi.sa is recommended.
