Ação alelopática de extratos de embaúba (Cecropia pachystachya) no crescimento de capim-colonião (Panicum maximum) Allelophatic action of Cecropia pachystachya extracts on the growth of guinea grass (Panicum maximum)

Abstract

Cecropia pachystachya (embaúba) é uma planta da família Urticaceae, característica de margens de florestas. Possui rápido desenvolvimento e é abundante em todo o território brasileiro. Neste estudo, foram analisados os potenciais alelopáticos dos extratos metanólicos da casca, do tronco e das raízes da embaúba por meio de bioensaios de germinação e medida do desenvolvimento da parte aérea do capim-colonião (Panicum maximum). O maior efeito foi observado no extrato das raízes na concentração de 150 ppm. Os principais constituintes voláteis identificados por CG/EM foram: na casca: geranilacetona, ácido láurico, ácido palmítico, octadecanal e alcanos de cadeia longa; nas raízes: geranilacetona, farnesol, farnesilacetona, ácido palmítico, octadecanal e alcanos de cadeia longa; e no tronco: geranilacetona, ácido palmítico e alcanos de cadeia longa.Cecropia pachystachya (embauba) is a tree of the Urticaceae family, typical of forest margins. It grows quickly and is abundant throughout Brazil. In this study, the allelophatic potential of the methanolic extracts from the bark, trunk and roots of Cecropia pachystachya cultivated in Uberaba, Minas Gerais, Brazil was analyzed through germination bioassays and growth measurements of the aerial part of Panicum maximum. The best effect was observed in the root extracts at 150 ppm concentration. The following main volatile constituents were identified by GC/MS: geranylacetone, lauric acid, palmitic acid, octadecanal and long chain alkenes in the bark; geranylacetone, farnesol, farnesylacetone, octadecanal, palmitic acid and long-chain alkenes in the root; and geranylacetone, palmitic acid and long-chain alkenes in the wood.
