Abstract

The oil of the fresh aerial parts of Conyza albida and its fractions were analyzed by GC/MS. Fifty-five components were identified with cis-lachnophyllum ester (30.0%) being the main compound. Furthermore, the allelopathic potential of the oil and its fractions was evaluated using two sensitive indicators, Avena sativa and Spirodella polyrhiza.
