Abstract
Totally 15 actinobacterial isolates were screened for herbicidal activity against the weed. Among the 15 isolates, only five isolates KA1-3, KA1-4, KA1-7, KA2-6 and KA23A showed significant activity, particularly KA1-3 had shown excellent herbicidal activity against Cyperus rotundus. The herbicidal effect of Streptomyces sp. KA1-3 culture filtrates on germination and seedling growth of C. rotundus was severely affected when compared to control. Streptomyces sp. was extracted and purified. Chemical structure of the compound N-(naphthalene-1-yl) propanamide was established on the basis of spectroscopic studies such as UV, FT-IR, H1NMR and MS. The present study concludes that Streptomyces sp. isolate will be used as bioherbicide against C. rotundus. Further studies are required to confirm the activity of N-(naphthalene-1-yl) propanamide against C. rotundus under field conditions.
