Two field experiments were established at the Agricultural Experimental Station of the National Research Centre at Nubaria, Beheira Governorate, Egypt to study the herbicidal potential of the leaf extract of Eucalyptus citriodora at 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25% compared to two
hand hoeing, unweeded treatments and the chemical herbicides Bentazon + Clethodium,
Bentazon + Fluazifop-P-butyl and Butralin on pea plants and associated weeds. The results
indicated that two hand hoeing achieved the maximum weed depression as expressed by
the dry matter of total weeds. The dry matter of total weeds decreased by 95.08 to 94.77%
as compared with unweeded treatment 50 and 70 days after sowing (DAS) followed by
Butraline (93.93–94.65%), Bentazon + Clethodium (93.26–94.07%), Bentazon + Fluazifop-
-P-butyl (91.82–92.77%) and leaf extract of Eucalyptus at 25% (91.61–91.95%). Furthermore, the reduction in weed development was accompanied by enhanced pea growth and
yield. The results revealed that two hand hoeing was the best treatment to increase plant
height, shoot dry weight and SPAD value at 50 and 70 DAS. Also, two hand hoeing produced the maximum values of pod length and number of seeds/pod. The results also indicated that Bentazon + Clethodium treatment gave observable values [recorded 72.96% in
pod yield (ton ⋅ fed.–1) over that of unweeded control] of number of pod/plant, weight of
pod/plant, seed yield/fed and protein percentage. Also, the results revealed great increases
in the growth of pea as well as yield due to treatment with E. citriodora dry leaf extract
at 25%. [recorded 64.8% in in pod yield (ton ⋅ fed.–1) over that of unweeded control]. So,
the results indicated using Bentazon + Clethodium as well as E. citriodora dry leaf extract
at 25% to control weeds associated with pea plants. The authors suggested application of
E. citriodora dry leaf extract at 25% in controlling weeds associated with pea plants as a safe
method that avoids environmental contamination.
