Laboratory experiments were carried out to assess the allelopathic effect of leaf extracts of Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehn. and their possible phytotoxicity on germination and growth of Brassica juncea, Cucumis sativus, Phaseolus mungo, Raphanus sativus, Cicer arietinum and Vigna unguiculata. Sterilized petridishes were used with a light period of 24 hours and on an average temperature of 28°C. The effects of different aqueous extracts of leaves were compared with distilled water (control). Aqueous extract of the dry leaves significantly inhibited the germination, vigor and growth rate of seedlings of tested crops compared to green leaves.
