The experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of tree leachates on the growth performance of commonly grown oilseed crops. The experiment was conducted for two years in green house in University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad. It was found that amongst the tested tree leachates, Eucalyptus tree leachates had more inhibitory effect on the emergence, dry matter, shoot and root length of the crops. Root + leaf leachate had significantly higher inhibitory effect than root leachate alone. The inhibitory effect of leachates was more during earlier stage of crop growth (15 DAS) than later stages (30 DAS)
