Evaluates the chemical composition of leaves of Annona glabra and examines whether these chemicals inhibit germination in other species. Triterpenes, tannins and flavonoids were detected from leaves. Chemical extracts inhibited germination of two of four species and affected initial growth of all species evaluated.Suggested Citation
