Knowledge on allelopathy may be used in mitigation of reduced yield in vegetables and other crops. To the best of my knowledge there is scare information about the effect of Xanthium pungens allelochemical compound on seed germination dynamics and subsequent seedling growth in selected crops. The main aim of this project is to determine the possible effect of the wide spread weed (Xanthium pungens) on seed germination characteristics and seedling growth of cabbage, tomato and onion seeds.

Plant-parasitic nematodes are a significant agricultural problem, causing substantial yield losses in various crops worldwide. Traditional control methods rely heavily on chemical nematicides, which pose environmental and health risks. NTF offers a promising eco-friendly alternative due to their unique predatory abilities.
