Allelopathic and auto-toxic effects of aqueous extracts of Codonopsis pilosula root secretions. by Daiyu Qiu, Xue Wang, Fengbin Xu, Qian Li, Fengying Ren, Kan Jiang

“…Acetic acid, constituting 44.1% of the total chemical profile, exhibited a significant inhibitory effect on seed germination and seedling growth (P<0.05). In conclusion, the aqueous extracts of C. pilosula root exudates significantly inhibit seed germination and seedling growth, especially during the plant's reproductive stage, with low molecular weight organic acids being the predominant allelopathic components.…”

Persistence of Overseeded Cool-Season Grasses in Bermudagrass Turf by Thomas Serensits, Matthew Cutulle, Jeffrey F. Derr

“…Plant counts one year after seeding plots with intermediate ryegrass or Italian ryegrass were attributed primarily to latent germination and not summer survival. Applications of foramsulfuron generally did not prevent overseeded species stand one year after seeding, supporting the conclusion of new germination. …”
