Abstract
Aqueous leaf extract of common lambsquarters (Chenopodium album L.) wa s evaluated alone or in combination with NaCl for its effect on germin ation and rice seedling growth. The treatments have no effect on germi nation. However, growth of both shoot and root significantly decreased under NaCl alone and in combination with leaf extract. Root growth wa s affected more than the shoot and the effect of NaCl was accentuated in the presence of leaf extract.
