### Effectiveness of EO Vapor Phase in Contact Germination Test (Soil Substrate)  
The data shown in Table 9 corroborated the above results regarding the effectiveness of the _J. communis_ and _L. decidua_ EOs against the two target species, despite the presence of the soil and the resulting interference. In general, they were able to similarly reduce the germination of _L. multiform_ (by up to \(-\)53.9% and 50.2%, respectively). _J. communis_ EO more influenced its CVG (\(-\)21.3% to \(-\)76.9%) and MGT (+8.3% to +16.7%) values than _L. decidua_ EO. However, the latter limited the shoot elongation of _L. multiform_ to 2.4 times compared to 1.3 times for _J. communis_ EO. A similar trend was observed with respect to _S. alba_ (G, \(-\)10.7% to \(-\)62.5% vs. \(-\)12.6% to \(-\)38.9%; CVG, \(-\)30.6% to \(-\)77.5% vs. \(-\)32.8% to \(-\)58.2%; MGT, +6.7% to 11.1% vs. +11.1% to +13.3%; shoot length, \(-\)0.7% to \(-\)35.3% vs. \(-\)17% to \(-\)40%).

Table 9: Germination and growth values of two target species (_Lolium multiform_ and _Sinapis alba_) under the phytotoxic effects of different doses of _Juniperus communis_ var. saxutils and _Larzic decidua_ EOs using soil as a substrate.  
Lastly, the \"interaction species \(\times\) treatment\" (EO doses) was not significant for G and CVG after the _J. communis_ EO treatment (_p_-value > 0.05), whereas it was significant only for the shoot length parameter in the presence of _L. decidua_ EO (_p_-value = 0.00).
