Includes reference.

The phytotoxicity effects of two common weeds; the prostrate spurge; Euphorbia prostrata M. (libbeina) and the creeping weed sorrel, Oxalis comicuIata L (homaid) extracts were studied on seed germination of wheat (Trititicum aastivum), maize (Zae mayes L.) cucumber (Cucumis sativus), tomatoes (Solanum Iycopersicum) and field pea (Pisum sativum). The results showed that both extracts inhibited both root and shoot length and reduced the weight of all studied plants. Also, Oxalis extract had more inhibitory effects on seed germination of all tested plants than Euphorbia extract. Tomatoes root length showed the height sensitivity, while, field pea showed the least when they were treated with Euphorbia extract.
