Toxicity of aqueous extracts of <scp> <i>Ilex paraguariensis</i> </scp> A.St.‐Hil. about <scp> <i>Euphorbia heterophylla</i> </scp> L.
Aqueous extracts of I. paraguariensis exhibit strong allelopathic potential against E. heterophylla, particularly during germination, offering a biodegradable bioherbicide option for integrated pest management. While less toxic to mature plants, their selectivity and scalability warrant further field optimization to enhance sustainable agriculture, reducing environmental impacts and herbicide resistance. © 2026 The Author(s).
