Abstract: The maize seedlings grown in soilless media were treated with 3 concentrations (0.1, 0.05 and 0.01g/mL) of aqueous extract of aerial part of  Flaveria bidentis, and distilled water as control.Performances of MDA, POD, SOD, CAT and CHL of the maize leaves were measured and evaluated every four days.Results showed that 3 treatments had negative effects on the growth of maize.The negative effects were enhanced with the increase of extracts concentration.The level of MDA contents, POD, SOD and CAT activity of maize seedling leaves were significantly higher than control, but the content of CHL was obviously less than the control.Moreover, a significant interaction existed between the concentrations of  F.bidentis aqueous extracts and the treated time.It turned out that the extracts of F.bidentis could inhibit the seedling growth.Thus, the results provide evidence for the further research of F.bidentis.
