Weeds are an important challenge in agriculture significantly reducing crop yields. The use of
pesticides in conventional agriculture to control weeds is associated with environmental and
health risks, which has led to interest in more environmentally friendly methods of weed
control. The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of the use of essential oils as
an alternative for controlling invasive weed species. The effect of essential oils of oregano
(Origanum vulgare L.), lavender (Lavandula officinalis L.) and cinnamon (Cinnamomum
zeilanicum L.) on the germination of creeping thistle (Cirsum arvense L.) seeds was
investigated. Germination tests were performed in a germination chamber at 4 °C for 21 days,
as well as at 25 °C (day) and 15 °C (dark) for seven days. Each essential oil was applied at
four concentrations — 1%, 0.5%, 0.2% and 0.01% — and water as a control. Cirsium arvense
seeds were completely prevented from germinating when exposed to treatments con...taining
high amounts of EO essential oils (1% and 0.5%). The most effective oil at a concentration of
0.2% to prevent seed germination was cinnamon oil, which had a 30% germination success
rate. Oregano and lavender were next, with 31% and 35% germination success. The lowest
concentration applied to creeping thistle seed for all oils was similar. The average number of
germinating seeds in a concentration of 0.01% was 45%. The obtained results show that it is
possible to use essential oils as natural pesticides to control various weeds in sustainable
agriculture.
