HIGHLIGHTS
- The local plant namely Rumput Miang Mexico was genetically identified as Parthenium hysterophorus by using DNA profiling technique.
- P.hysterophorus crude extract (PHCE) has significantly inhibited the germination of weed in Malaysian palm oil plantations.
- Overall, the seed germination showed an effect of hormesis where PHCE acted as a stimulant at a low dose, and inhibit as increasing the concentration.

ABSTRACT
This paper reports a study on genetic identification of Parthenium hysterophorus and the
ability of P. hysterophorus crude extract (PHCE) to inhibit germination of weeds in palm oil
plantations, particularly slender buttonweed (Diodia ocimifolia). Parthenium hysterophorus
is a noxious plant with invasive properties. It has become one of the world’s seven most
devastating and hazardous weed‑s due to its allelopathic properties. However, a comprehensive
study on its genetic identification and its herbicidal activity against weeds in palm
oil plantations had never been carried out. In the present study, internal transcribes spacer
(ITS) region-based analysis was used as a molecular
marker to ascertain the local Rumput
Miang Mexico (RMM) as a P. hysterophorus species. From the results, the DNA sequence
obtained was 99% matched with P. hysterophorus species database. In the dose-response
bioassay study, the phytotoxicity of PHCE on D. ocimifolia was simulated under laboratory
conditions. Methanolic extract of P. hysterophorus significantly inhibited germination and
growth of shoots and radicles of D. ocimifolia at low concentrations (1−5 g ∙ l−1). A study on
the herbicidal activity of PHCE could be an additional management approach for this phytotoxic
species and an alternative way to naturally control weeds on palm oil plantations.

Education Malaysia for my Ph.D. scholarship for
