One of the main factors in the successful invasion of invasive plants is their allelopathy on the growth performance (especially seed germination and seedling growth) of neighboring plants. Salt stress, mainly mediated by soil salinization, may affect or even facilitate the process of invasion of invasive plants via their allelopathy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the allelopathy effect of four Asteraceae invasive plants, including Canada goldenrod (Solidago canadensis L.), horseweed (Conyza canadensis (L.) Cronq.), rallway beggaricks (Bidens pilosa L.), and daisy fleabane (Erigeron annuus (L.) Pers.), on seed germination and seedling growth of the horticultural Asteraceae species Lactuca sativa L. under a gradient of salt stress in an hydroponic incubation experiment. Salt stress significantly reduced seed germination and seedling growth of L. sativa. These four invasive plants are known to negatively affect seed germination and seedling growth of L. sativa through their allelopathy. The allelopathy of S. canadensis was stronger than that of the three other invasive plants. Salt stress significantly intensified the allelopathy of the four studied invasive plants (especially S. canadensis), and the facilitation of salt stress on the allelopathy of the four invasive plants (especially S. canadensis) significantly increased with increasing intensity of salt stress. Therefore, the increased level of salt stress may facilitate the process of invasion of the four studied invasive plants (especially S. canadensis) via their increased allelopathy negatively affecting the seed germination and seedling growth of neighboring plant species.

Most allelopathic studies have focused only on the allelopathy of invasive plants on the growth performance of native plants, while neglecting the allelopathy of native plants on the growth performance of invasive plants, especially species that can co-invade the same ecosystem. This study aimed to evaluate the allelopathy of the native plant Pinus massoniana Lamb. on the seed germination and seedling growth of two invasive Amaranthaceae species, Celosia argentea L. and Amaranthus retroflexus L. using a germination bioassay. Pinus massoniana showed significant allelopathy on the seed germination and seedling growth of the two invasive Amaranthaceae species. The allelopathy of P. massoniana on the seed germination and seedling growth of the two invasive Amaranthaceae species may be attributed to the effects of the generated stress on their germination activity. Pinus massoniana exhibited stronger allelopathy on the seed germination and seedling growth of A. retroflexus than on that of C. argentea. Thus, the invasiveness of A. retroflexus is expected to be lower than that of C. argentea in contact with P. massoniana. The allelopathy of P. massoniana on the seed germination and seedling growth of the two invasive Amaranthaceae species under the co-cultivated conditions was stronger than that under the monocultural conditions. Accordingly, the aqueous extract of P. massoniana can be considered a potential bioherbicide for the control of the two invasive Amaranthaceae species, particularly when both species co-occuring.
