Abstract

Various studies have focused on improving crop yield through methods like nursery management, transplanting, seed quality, weeding, and pest control. One promising approach involves using Moringa Leaf Extract (MLE), which contains compounds that may boost seed germination, plant growth, and overall crop productivity. MLE can be applied in different ways: soaking seeds (osmopriming), spraying on leaves (foliar spray), or simply using it to hydrate seeds (hydropriming). MLE has been shown to promote better seedling emergence and growth in maize and enhance the performance of tomato and sweet bell pepper plants. It helps plants grow vigorously, maintain proper water balance, improve cell membranes, and increase antioxidant levels, leading to higher yields and better quality produce.
