      abstract = {The effect of allelopathy on many aspects of plant ecology  including occurrence, growth, and structure of plant  communities, dominance, and diversity has had a check red  history among ecologists. Field studies showed the increase  of Amaranthus viridis density in an infested area by  Trianthema portulacastrum more than uninfested area, while  no difference in soil physicochemical characters at both  areas. Bioassay was done under two different temperatures  25 and 35 degrees C with different types of T.  portulacastrum leaf and stem extracts. The untreated seeds  showed very small germination percent at the high  temperature, while the treated seeds showed very high  percentage. Different types of extracts had highly  significant increase in seed germination, radicle and  plumule growth of A. viridis. Treatment by T.  portulacastrum extracts increased soluble protein, amylase  and total phenol of A. viridis. Stimulation of all the  previous parameters was higher in high temperature than in  the lower. HPLC analysis for T. portulacastrum leaf and  stem estimated eight phenolic compounds. The present study  supports the ecological importance of allelopathy in  Agriculture.},
