Abstract
The intensive use of synthetic herbicide has been the cause for the evolution of
herbicide-resistant weeds, besides having a serious threat to human health and the
environment. The need for new and more environmental friendly herbicides becomes
obvious to solve the dilemma of the continued demand for herbicides. Hence, this
study was conducted to examine the herbicidal activity of compounds isolated and
identified from Pennisetum purpureum as well as to elucidate its mechanism of
action.
