N-trans-cinnamoyltyramine (NTCT) has been identified from an allelopathic Vietnamese rice accession OM 5930. This study employed bioassays to analyze NTCT's effects on shoot and root growth of multiple test and weed species. NTCT demonstrated potent inhibitory effects on cress, lettuce, canola, palmer amaranth, timothy, barnyardgrass, red sprangletop, and weedy rice, with increasing concentrations leading to substantial reductions in growth in all species. Linear regression analysis of dose response curves revealed ED50 values for NTCT, providing critical insights into the concentration re- quired for 50% growth inhibition in each species. They revealed high sensitivity of the test species cress and lettuce, intermediate sensitivities of barnyardgrass, red spran- gletop, timothy, and amaranth, and comparatively lower sensitivity of two weedy rice accessions. The findings underscore NTCT's efficacy in suppressing the growth of a wide range of weeds, including both grasses and broadleaf species. As such, NTCT may hold promise as a tool for sustainable weed management, particularly in address- ing herbicide-resistant weeds in diverse ecological settings.
