The leafy material from Atriplex polycarpa contains 1.15% saponin. Comparative inhibition of Trichoderma viride mycelium indicated that saponin from A. polycarpa was either much more potent than commercially available saponin from the bark of Quillaja, or that other water‐soluble inhibitors were also present. Distilled water, dripping through A. polycarpa plants to simulate rain, also removed inhibitory substances from A. polycarpa .
