“…Leaf extract of M. oleifera is one such example. It has been reported that foliar application of M. oleifera leaf extract accelerated growth of tomato, peanut, corn and wheat at early vegetative growth stage, improve resistance to pests and diseases and enhanced more and larger fruits and generally increase yield by 20 to 35 % [5]. In this study, the application of moringa leaf extract has also effectively improved seed germination and seedling vigour as compared to untreated control.…”

Abstract. The use of Moringa oleifera leaves extract as plant growth hormone on cowpea plant (Vigna unguiculata) has been studied at the biological garden of Usmanu Danfodiyo university, Sokoto. An extract was made by grinding young moringa leaves and diluted with water at the ratio of 1:30 25 mls, three blocks were made labelled M, F and D, with three replications each, the extract prepared was applied on block 'M' only, while a small pinch of synthetic fertilizer (Urea) was applied in block 'F' and a control treatment was set up using distilled water, which applied to each plant in hill D. results indicates that in the 3 rd week of observation the cowpea plants treated with moringa extract have the highest mean of stems, number of leaves and branches, length of leaves and branches, and thickness of stem. Then followed by those treated fertilizer mean and finally those treated with distilled water this result shows that moringa leaves extract has an improving effects on the growth of cowpea. Moringa leaf extract (MLE) is rich with numerous growth hormones, particularly zeatin that has been reported to increase the crops yield in the range of 10-45 %. Moringa leaf juice also contains micronutrients in sufficient quantities and suitable proportions that increase the growth, yield components and yield of a variety of crops.

“…Naturally, these elements play important roles in the metabolic processes like photosynthesis, respiration and carbohydrate synthesis. In this respect (Culver et al, 2012) on different crops, found that MLE especially at high rates of moringa significantly increased fresh and dry weights of leaves/plant in comparison with control. However, the dry weight of herbs/plants fallowed the same pattern as the herb fresh weight.…”

The present study was carried out at the Experimental Farm, Horticulture Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Suez Canal University during two successive seasons (2012 & 2013). The objective was to study the effect of moringa leaf extract (MLE) spray at 0.0, 2.5, 5 and 10 gm /L on vegetative growth, yield, leaf area, oil percentage and the anatomical leaf structure of sage plant under sandy soil conditions. Spraying with MLE especially at highest concentration (10gm/L) significantly increased the plant height, number of leaves, number of branches, yield and essential oil percentage in herb. In addition such treatment markedly increased the percentage of most essential oil component and enhancement the characteristic of leaf anatomy of sage plants.

“…Chitosan was used at 3 g/l and prepared by dissolving in acetic acid solution. Moringa leaf extract (MLE) at 10 ml/l was prepared according to Culver et al (2012) and lithovit was used at 1 g/l. The plants were sprayed with activators applications three times 15, 30 and 45 days from sowing using spreading agent to improve adherence of the spry to the plant foliage.…”

Two field experiments were conducted during 2016 and 2017 summer seasons in a private farm near El-Mahalla El-Kobra, El-Gharbia governrate to evaluate the effect of three NPK levels (100, 75 and 50 percentage of NPK recommended dose) and NPK foliar application (with or without foliar NPK spraying) with three foliar activators applications (chitosan, moringa leaf extract and lithovit) as well as tap water as a control and their interactions on vegetative growth characters, ion percentage, yield and its quality of cucumber plants cv. prince. Obtained data revealed that 100 % of recommended NPK (120 kg N, 50 kg P 2 O 5 , 100 kg K 2 O/fed.) and foliar application with NPK at 3 g/l combined to foliar application with chitosan at 3 g/l gave the highest values of yield and its components i.e. (number of fruits, fruit yield/ plant, early and total yield/fed.), while 75% NPK of recommended dose (90 kg N, 37.5 kg P 2 O 5 , 75 kg K 2 O/fed.) plus NPK foliar application with spraying moringa leaf extract at 10 ml/l gave the highest values of vegetative growth parameters i.e. (number of leaves/plant, shoot fresh and dry weight, plant height), also chitosan at 3 g/l combined with foliar NPK and 75% of NPK recommended dose as soil application gave superiority in N, P and K percentage in cucumber leaves, in addition, total sugar, TSS and total chlorophyll in cucumber fruits. Thus, it can be recommended that use 75% NPK from recommended dose plus foliar application NPK and foliar spray with moringa leaf extract applications to decrease mineral fertilization which reflected on reducing production costs and mitigate the environmental pollution and protect the human health.
