Abstract Background A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the phytotoxic thresholds of zinc oxide (ZnO NPs), iron (FeO copper (Cu and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on cotton. All were biosynthesized from Conocarpus erectus L. leaf extract. They characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Five concentration...

Utilization of plant allelopathic potential to control weed infestations provides an effective, cost-efficient, labor-free, and environmentally acceptable alternative traditional chemical mechanical methods. Conocarpus erectus, known as buttonwood, belongs the Combretaceae family with high contents phytochemicals antioxidant activity. There have been no studies on C. erectus. The present study ...

Abstract Tropical forest ecosystems are rich in epiphytes that make up a significant portion of the overall plant diversity. However, epiphytic plants often understudied due to inaccessibility and lack basic ecological information poses challenges their conservation, particularly time rapid global change. The mule-ear orchid, Trichocentrum undulatum (Orchidaceae), is large flowering epiphyte fo...
