Phytotoxic potential of Launaea procumbens (Roxb) Ramayya and Rajagopal were studied on two test crops Brassica rapa and Cucurbita maxima. In Petri plates experiment, it observed that germination percentage and speed of germination of both species were highly suppressed by aqueous extract of root, leaves and whole plant of L. procumbens. Similarly the radicle and plumule length of both species were also affected at varying degree while Brassica rapa was more affected as compared to Cucurbita maxima. These results showed that Launaea procumbens affected the growth of both test species.
