very common to use ornamental plants adapted to the Mediterranean climate, particularly shrubs. Among this group predominate traditional shrubs (autochthonous and allochthonous), widely known and offered in commercial nurseries, second, foreign
transplanting on seven ornamental plant species; ornamentals were evaluated for crop injury (20 Aug. 2003), size (19 May 2004), and dry weight (Sept.–Oct. 2004). In conclusion, most fumigants tested provided good weed control up to 20 months after application
“lesion” is used when referring to these abnormal growths. The objective of this research was to further characterize lesion nomenclature and development on four plant species: ornamental sweetpotato ‘Blackie’, tomato ‘Maxifort’, interspecific hybrid

small, attractive, perennial woody shrub that grows up to 1 m long ( Gibson 2011 ). The striking scarlet flowers have made it a popular ornamental plant ( Gibson 2011 ; Masenya et al. 2022 ). It is also reported to be used by British botanists since the
Colchicaceae consists of 19 genera that are distributed worldwide except for South America ( Vinnersten and Reeves, 2003 ). Several genera of this family such as Gloriosa , Littonia , and Sandersonia contain horticulturally important plants
favored plant growth. However, research on autotoxicity in ornamentals is limited. Tukey (1969) showed that when chrysanthemum was grown repeatedly in the same place for several years, growth was reduced owing to accumulation of toxic substances in the

today ( Huxley, 1942 ). These changes, called mutations, have also resulted in variations within many plant species. Mutations have been the source of improvements in many ornamental species such as japanese morning glory ( Ipomaea nil ; Miyake and Imai
