Abstract
Leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) deWit) has been observed to control weeds when used as soil mulch. It contains mimosine, which, among other allelochemicals, is responsible for the allelopathic effect. In this work, the effects of leucaena shoots were assessed in field experiments against weeds of maize crop.
