The result of this research showed that leaf extract of “alang-alang” weed, “babandotan” weed, and rhizomes of kirinyuh weed with concentration of 25 % and 50% can inhibit the growth of spinach thorns weed. Extract of 50 % “kirinyuh” weed was most effective concentration to inhibit the growth and germination rate of spiny pigweed.
