Abstract	The present study aims to evaluate the allelopathic effect of different growth stages of leaf leachate of common wasteland weed Senna occidentalis L. on seed germination and growth of Triticum aestivum. We tried correlating its allelopathic effect with phytochemical analysis at different growth stages. Three different growth stages early, intermediate and mature growth stages were selected for the study and 0.5%, 1% and 2% concentrations were prepared by stock extract of leaf-leachate of Senna occidentalis. The growth of Wheat seedlings was inhibited significantly by mature-stage leaf leachate treatment of all selected concentrations. The effect of the mature stage was more phytotoxic than intermediate stage and early stage and a dose-dependent inhibition was recorded on seedlings and the growth of wheat plants.
