Papaya compound stops velvetleaf
PEORIA, 111. - A compound
extracted from papaya seed stops
germination and seedling growth
of velvetleaf, a common com-field
weed, but does not affect com.
In US DA laboratory studies
here, less than 90 parts of the
papaya compound in one million
parts of water, “completely
inhibited” velvetleaf seed ger
mination. Rebecca B. Wolf, plant
physiologist, says, “Corn was
unaffected even at concentrations
of almost 150 parts per million of
the compound.”
Wolf and Gayland F. Spencer,
research chemist, extracted the
compound, benzyl isothiocyanate,
from ground papaya seed with
solvents in the first study reported
from a new search at the Northern
Regional Research Center for
natural seed germination
inhibitors.
“We don’t want to suggest that
benzyl isothiocyanate would be
useful or practical in the field since
we have no knowledge of that sort
of application," Wolf says.
“Greenhouse and field studies are
necessary to determine, for
example, whether seedlings that
survive the treatment in the
laboratory would be viable in the
field.” Information on dosage,

longevity and side effects would be.
needed also before the papaya
compound could be used.
The concentration that stopped
velvetleaf germination, 90 parts
per million, reduced soybean
germination 28 percent, Wolf says
Velvetleaf, also called butterprint
and piemarker, Abutilon
theophrasti, grows in soybean and
com fields throughout most of the
U.S. Agriculture Handbook 366,
“Selected Weeds of the U.S.,''
indicates it is "of great economic
importance” in Missouri, Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Ten
nessee, the Virginias and parts of
adjoining states.
The same concentration of
papaya compound that killed 3-day
old velvetleaf seedlings, about 60
parts in one million parts of water,
reduced weed seed germination 72
percent. It reduced soybean
germination 11 percent.
“Many plants produce
chemicals that are harmful bj,
other species and help to reduct
competition in their natural
habitats,” Wolf says. The benzyl
isotiuoccyanate found in papaya,
Canca papaya, is found also in the
cabbage family, Cruciferae, and in
the nasturtium family,
Tropaeolaceae.
