The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Bituminariabituminosa (L.) C.H. Stirt. leaf extracts obtained at beginning ofgrowth, budding and beginning of flowering on germination andseedling growth characteristics of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Inthe study, 12 B. bituminosa genotypes leaf extracts (G) were used, andthe control group was consisted of distilled water. In the study,germination percentage, root and shoot length, root and shoot freshdry weight, root and shoot biomass and seedling vigor index wereinvestigated. The highest germination percentage was found in G1 as99.55%, and the lowest was found in G2 with 93.93%. The root andshoot length ranged from 6.49-16.28 and 7.58-12.67 cm, respectively.The highest seedling vigor index was found in G5 (2813.50), G9(2619.74), G11 (2657.05) and G12 (2657.71), while it was lowestcontrol group (1343.74). As a result, the G9, G10, and G11 showedhigher performance in terms of investigated traits. Besides, the B.bituminosa genotypes leaf extracts obtained at the budding stage werehigher and had positive allelopathy effect compared to the othergrowth stages.
