| dc.description.abstract | The use of allelopathy in controlling weeds has been a potential alternative as eco-friendly weed management. This study isolated tannin from Mimosa pudica and determined the inhibitory activity against Echinochloa crus-galli. Extraction of dried Mimosa pudica was done using 85% ethanol. Isolated tannin was obtained using Thin Layer Chromatography. Isolated compound was analysed through Ultraviolet Visible and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy. Inhibitory activity of the tannin on the seed germination and seedling growth of Echinochloa crus galli was evaluated. The crude extract and tannin from Mimosa pudica inhibited the seed germination and seedling growth of Echinochloa crus galli in all the concentrations used (1-10 ppm). All the tannin concentration exhibited similar effects on the seed germination and seedling growth of Echinochloa crus galli. The tannin isolated has absorption maximum at 250 nm in the UV-Vis spectroscopy and contain the functional groups, hydrooxyl, substituted aromatic ring and an ester group through FTIR spectroscopy analysis. From the spectra gathered, the tannin could be a potential ellagitannin. The potential ellagitannin from Mimosa pudica had inhibitory activity on the seed germination and seedling growth of Echinochloa crus-galli. Mimosa pudica had weedicide property. | |
