Abstract

Emergence of sugarbeets (Beta vulgaris L. ‘MonoHy D2’) from soil was reduced by germinating kochia [Kochia scoparia (L.) Schrad. ♯ KCHSC] seed at densities greater than 1 seed/cm2 when the fungus Rhizopus sp. was present. Water-soluble exudates from germinated kochia seed did not influence Rhizopus growth in vitro or sugarbeet germination. Cell-free culture extracts of Rhizopus reduced sugarbeet germination and radicle elongation. There appeared to be an interaction between kochia and Rhizopus, but the responsible compounds were not identified.
