D-Allulose is one of the most well-known rare sugar and is well known as an alternative sweetener. In this study, an eco-friendly and effective control test was conducted using D-allulose to invasive alien plants that disturb the ecosystem. D-Allulose not only inhibits the germination of maple leaf ragweed (Ambrosia trifida L.) seeds at a concentration of 1% or more, but most of them did not grow normally because root development and leaf opening were not properly performed. In addition, as a result of demonstration through D-allulose treatment in the growth area of maple leaf ragweed, it was confirmed that the above-ground growth was inhibited by 1/3 at a concentration of 5%. In addition, when 5% concentration of D-allulose was treated according to the seed-bearing period, it was confirmed that the seedbearing rate decreased by about 43%. These results suggest that D-allulose, a rare saccharide, can be developed as an ecofriendly material that can effectively control the invasive alien plant, maple leaf ragweed. It is thought that it will be possible to develop harmless and effective eco-friendly herbicides to the human body through research on the mechanism of action and formulation for future field application and control technology development, and expansion of application tests to various plants.
