    This study was undertaken to explore the potential of Aglaia odorata Lour. granules in various soil types (sand, sandy loam and clay) at 0.25, 0.5 and 1taiha<sup>-1</sup> to inhibit two major maize weeds, Digitaria adscendens and Trianthema portulacastrum L., in an experimental greenhouse. The results indicated that the emergence and seedling growth of both weeds were inhibited but varied with the soil type: the inhibitory effect of the A. odorata granules was stronger when applied in sand, followed by sandy loam and clay. The weed species responded differently to the A. odorata granule application. Generally, the inhibitory effect was greater for D. adscendens than for T. portulacastrum. Additionally, the potential of the A. odorata granules for weed control in maize field plots was evaluated. The three major weeds that were found in the experimental field were D. adscendens, T. portulacastrum and Amaranthus gracilis. The highest A. odorata granule dose (1taiha<sup>-1</sup>) had a significant inhibitory effect on the emergence and growth of all of the weed species and their emergence was reduced by 96.7%, 47.2% and 56.2%, respectively, compared with the control treatment (unweeded). The dry weight of the weeds was reduced in a similar manner to their emergence. In contrast, the emergence of maize was not affected by any of the A. odorata granule applications. Rather, at an application rate of 1taiha<sup>-1</sup>, the maize yield increased significantly and the effect was similar to that observed with an atrazine herbicide application under field conditions. © 2012 Weed Science Society of Japan.

    A bioassay-guided fractionation of the allelochemicals of the ethyl acetate fraction extracted from Aglaia odorata led to isolation of a bisamide, odorine. The growth inhibitory effects of odorine and ethyl acetate fraction were studied for comparison on Echinochloa crus-galli. Odorine and ethyl acetate fraction of A. odorata could inhibit the germination and seedling growth of E. crus-galli, with ethyl acetate fraction being more potent. Thus, ethyl acetate fraction was selected for further experiment, E. crus-galli seeds were studied the effects of the ethyl acetate fraction from A. odorata leaves in wet-table powder formulation on imbibition and α-amylase activity. It was found that treated seeds showed lower imbibition and α-amylase activity. The results of cytogenetic bioassay in Allium cepa roots showed that ethyl acetate fraction inhibited cell mitosis and induced mitotic abnormalities resulting from its action on chromatin organization and mitotic spindle in the exposed roots.
