An investigation was carried out to evaluate the phytotoxicity of dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) extracts obtained from four Meriania species belonging to the family Melastomataceae: Meriania tomentosa, M. speciosa, M. macrophylla, and M. nobillis. The study was conducted using wheat coleoptile growth inhibition bioassays, a widely recognized technique for determining the phytotoxic potential of both plant and synthesized compounds. The results obtained revealed a remarkable phytotoxic potential in the extracts evaluated, manifesting in a clear inhibition of wheat (Triticum aestivum L) coleoptiles growth
