ABSTRACT
The allelochemical 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol (2,4-DTBP)
is one of the natural compounds present in medicinal plants. This compound has
been reported to possess herbicidal properties. However, its effect on weed
growth parameters is unknown for it to be utilized in weed management. Hence,
the herbicidal potential of the allelochemical 2,4-DTBP on
the root and leaf tissues of the grassy weed, Leptochloa chinensis (L.) Nees and the
broadleaf weed, Hedyotis verticillata (L.) Lam was investigated. After
2,4-DTBP treatment, both bioassay
species had abnormal and much shorter root hairs compared to those of untreated
plants. The roots of H. verticillata were severely damaged with the root
nodes turned brown. The phytotoxic effect of 2,4-DTBP on L. chinensis and H. verticillata became apparent at seven days
and 14 days after treatment with symptoms of lamina wilting and necrosis,
respectively. These results demonstrated that 2,4-DTBP could
be used as a natural herbicide for the control of L. chinensis and H.
verticillata.

ABSTRAK
Alelokimia 2,4-di-tert-butilfenol (2,4-DTBP) adalah
salah satu sebatian semula jadi yang terdapat dalam tumbuhan perubatan. Sebatian ini dilaporkan mempunyai
ciri-ciri fitotoksik. Walau bagaimanapun,
kesan 2,4-DTBP ke atas parameter pertumbuhan rumpai tidak diketahui
untuk kegunaannya dalam pengurusan rumpai. Oleh itu, potensi
fitotoksik daripada alelokimia 2,4-DTBP pada akar dan tisu daun rumpai berdaun
tirus, Leptochloa chinensis (L.)
Nees dan rumpai berdaun lebar, Hedyotis verticillata (L.)
Lam telah dikaji. Selepas rawatan 2,4-DTBP,
kedua-dua spesies bioasai mempunyai rerambut akar yang tidak normal
lebih pendek berbanding dengan tumbuhan yang tidak dirawat.
Akar H. verticillata mengalami kerosakan teruk dengan nod
akar bertukar coklat. Kesan fitotoksik 2,4-DTBP
pada L. chinensis dan H. verticillata menjadi
jelas pada hari ketujuh dan ke-14 selepas rawatan dengan simptom
layu dan nekrosis pada lamina daun masing-masing. Hasil kajian ini
menunjukkan bahawa 2,4-DTBP
boleh digunakan sebagai racun herba semula jadi bagi
mengawal L. chinensis dan H. verticillata.
