摘要

Chemical herbicides are facing increasing challenges due to the evolution of resistance and environmental concerns, prompting interest in plant-derived allelochemicals for sustainable weed control. This study evaluated the essential oils (EOs) of Hedychium forrestii leaves (HFLEO) and rhizomes (HFREO) as a potential natural phytotoxic agent against barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) and weedy rice (Oryza sativa f. spontanea), two invasive weed species in rice production. The EOs were hydrodistilled (yields: 0.26% for HFLEO and 0.45% for HFREO), and analyzed chemical composition by GC–MS, and then tested in dose–response bioassays (0–16 µL/mL). The most abundant compound in both EOs was β-pinene (23.78–24.85%), followed by 1,8-cineol and α-pinene. Both EOs inhibited E. crus-galli growth dose-dependently, with HFLEO showing superior efficacy at 4 µL/mL (89.42% shoot, 96.91% root inhibition). Complete growth suppression (100%) occurred at ≥ 8 µL/mL for E. crus-galli and at 16 µL/mL for O. sativa f. spontanea. Collectively, these results highlight HFLEO as a potent and eco-friendly natural phytotoxic candidate for the sustainable management of rice weeds, particularly barnyard grass and weedy rice.
