The aim of the study was to determine the effect of soil-maltodextrin (MDX) and MDX microencapsulated essential oils (EOs, 12%) of peppermint (Mentha × piperita L.), caraway (Carum carvi L.) or calamus (Acorus calamus L.) at various doses (0.75, 1.5 and 3 g/pot), on the initial growth of maize (Zea mays L.), barnyard grass [Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P. Beauv.] and lambsquarters (Chenopodium album L.). The results of a pot experiment showed the strongest inhibitory effect on the growth of the studied plants of MDX alone. Both the MDX and microencapsulated EOs decreased the relative chlorophyll content of the leaves in maize. Maize was the most tolerant to the microencapsulated EOs while lambsquarters was more sensitive to the microcapsules compared to barnyard grass. The highest doses of microencapsulated EOs, particularly those containing peppermint or caraway, caused the greatest decrease in the number and dry weight of the weeds. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the microencapsulated EOs pose a phytotoxic effect against weeds and should be studied further under field conditions.
