Abstrakt: An experiment was conducted to declare the allelopathic potential of Populus deltoides leaf extracts on four local Oryza sativa L. cultivars. The Laboratory study consisted of seed germination, radicle, and plumule growth phases. The experiment was performed under five leaves extract concentrations (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%). The results revealed that seed germination indices were significantly reduced and inhibited by increasing leaf extract concentration. The development of the plumule and radicle showed a significant reduction in concentration changes. The current study demonstrated that there was a strong allelopathic effect of cottonwood on rice cultivars. It is important to consider that the P. deltoides was not recommended as a suitable tree for agroforestry with rice until further research has been conducted on field experiments under the shelter of cottonwood, to identify the allelochemicals in other parts of the cottonwood tree and the soil litter content in the stands.
