“…These findings corroborate with the results of Mvumi et al (2013) and Mehboob (2011) who reported increased grain and stover yield in maize by applying moringa leaf extract. Abbas et al (2013) recorded minimum biological yield (10.17 t ha -1 ) in control treatment and the highest (11.07 t ha -1 ) in 20% moringa leaf extract application.…”

“…Importantly, it was zeatin, a cytokinin related hormone in the extract, which was responsible for the improved growth and yield as suggested by some researchers (Mvumi et al, 2013;Abdalla, 2013). This study recommends the application of moringa leaf extract at 2 weeks after emergence and at every 2 weeks thereafter until flowering for better growth and yield of maize crop grown in soil under AEZ 9 (Old Brahmaputra Floodplain) of Bangladesh.…”

The present study was conducted in the Soil Science Field Laboratory at Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during November 2014 to April 2015 to study the effect of moringa leaf extract on growth and yield of maize. The experiment comprised of five treatments viz., T1 (control), T2 (water sprayed at every 2 weeks, starting from 2 weeks after emergence), T3 (moringa leaf extract sprayed at 2 weeks after emergence), T4 (moringa leaf extract sprayed at 2 and 4 weeks after emergence) and T5 (moringa leaf extract sprayed at 2 weeks after emergence and at every 2 weeks thereafter). The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 3 replications. Application of moringa leaf extract at 2 weeks after emergence and at every 2 weeks thereafter (T5) significantly increased growth parameters like plant height, shoot length, fresh weight and dry weight of shoot, and yield components like number of grains cob-1, 100-grain weight, grain weight plant-1. The highest grain yield (9.2 t ha-1), stover yield (10.1 t ha-1) and harvest index (48%) were obtained from T5 while the lowest grain yield (6.3 t ha-1), stover yield (8.6 t ha-1) and harvest index (42%) were found in the treatments where no moringa leaf extract was used (T1 or T2). From the results it can be concluded that moringa leaf extract should be applied for better growth and yield performance of maize in Old Brahmaputra Floodplain soil of Bangladesh.Progressive Agriculture 27 (2): 136-143, 2016

“…As shown from the results, forage yield increased significantly by the higher concentration (C1) of Moringa Juice extracts in both seasons compared to other concentrations. Several researchers found similar results with different crops (Mvumi et al, 2012 andEmongor, 2015) in onion and kidney beans, Muhamman et al (2013) in tomato, Abdalla (2013) in rocket. Moreover, yield components of mung bean (number of pods, pod dry weight, seed dry weight and shelling out turn) were all positively affected by high concentration of treatment.…”

Different concentrations of Moringa leaf extract were used to evaluate their effects on three leguminous crops (Alfalfa and Clitoria as forage crops and Mung bean as grain legume) Three independent experiments were carried out at King Abdulaziz University Experimental Station in Makkah province during 2015 and 2016. Treatments consisted of four concentrations of Moringa leaf extract (C1=1ml of juice+10 ml of distilled water, C2=1ml of juice+20ml of distilled water, C3=1ml of juice+30 ml of distilled water and C4=1ml of juice+40 ml of distilled water) and only distilled water as control. Results showed that the higher concentration C1 contained the highest concentrations of inorganic elements and growth hormones compared to the other concentrations. Thisae in turnae was reflected in significantly higher growth and forage yields of both alfalfa and clitoria and significantly higher growth and grain yield of mung bean. The highest concentration C1 increased number of pods, pod dry weight, seed dry weight, and shelling out turn of mung bean compared to the control in year 2015 by 85, 60, 47 and 92%, respectively. Corresponding increments in 2016 for the same characters were 40, 47, 27 and 94%, respectively.

As cytokinins are considered to be regulators of leaf senescence (Davis, 2007), therefore we hypothesized that with rich in Zeatin type of cytokinins and other regulators (Rady & Mohamed, 2015), Moringa leaf extract can play a role to maintain photosynthetic area by delaying senescence and affecting source-sink strength to increase yield.…”

Moringa olifera leaf extract at different concentrations were used to evaluate their effects on three cereal forages (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench, Penisetum typhoideum Rich and Sorghum Sudanese) grown under stress environment of soil and water salinity in an arid environment. Three independent experiments carried out at King Abdulaziz University Experimental Station, Makkah province during 2015 and 2016. Treatments consisted of four concentrations of Moringa olifera leaf extract: (C1 = 1 ml of juice + 10 ml of distilled water ,C2 = 1 ml of juice + 20 ml of distilled water, C3 = 1 ml of juice + 30 ml of distilled water and C4 = 1 ml of juice + 40 ml of distilled water in addition to distilled water alone as a control). Results showed that the higher concentration C1 contained the highest amount of inorganic elements and growth hormones compared to other concentrations. This in turn reflected in significant higher growth and forage yields of the three forage crops tested. Significant increases in growth and forage yields in both seasons reported for the higher concentration C1 compared to others. Fresh and dry forage yields of Millet, during 2016, increased by the higher concentration over the control treatment by 17.67 and 4.87%, respectively. Results indicated the effectiveness of Moringa leaf extract in improving growth and increasing productivity of cereal forages under harsh environment of salinity and aridity.
