The nutritional quality of food raised by organic farming in comparison to traditional farming is a current issue that continues to attract interest and generate discussion consumer regard organic food not only as better, but also a safe more hygienic and free of chemical residues and artificial ingredients.
Foliar appliance of moringa (Moringa oleifera L.) leaf extract helpful for the vigorous growth, deeper root development, seed germination, and delay of fruit senescence . Moringa leaf extract also improve yield quality /quantity capacity of crop to resist adverse environmental conditions. Moreover, plants treated with moringa leaf extract exhibited more disease and pest resistance. Moringa (Moringa oleifera L.) control soil borne fungal diseases, might prove to be effective than fungicides. Not only are bio-agents environmentally friendly compared to chemical methods, but they have also been revealed (in several in-vitro studies) to effectively reduce pathogen growth. Hence different investigation evaluates that foliar application of moringa leaf extract in enhancing fruit set, quality and yield of plants. Moringa (Moringa oleifera L.) leaf extract is an organic technology which increases, growth of most vegetable and field crops. This phenomenon is similar to artificial hormonal effect because the extract holds the most common form of naturally occurring cytokinin in plants such as zeatin. The vegetables crops include rape, cabbage and tomato, while field crops include common beans and maize.
Moring (Moringa oleifera L.) leaf extract is a technology which is cheap and environmentally safe to use. It achieves best when used in combination with artificial fertilizers.
