Abstract:
Moringa Leaf Extract (MLE) significantly improved the growth parameters and foliage yield in coriander under study. Among the parameters under study, treatment ML extract 4% + Cow urine 5% + Cow dung 5% (fermented) showed higher number of leaves/plant, number of branches/plant, stem base diameter, root length, root diameter, fresh plant weight, dry plant weight, fresh leaves weight, dry leaves weight, fresh stem weight, dry stem weight, fresh root weight, dry root weight, leaf stem ratio, foliage yield, vigour index and harvest index, while treatment ML extract 4% + GA3 0.03% (fresh) was found most effective for germination percentage and plant height. It is therefore suggested that fermented Moringa leaf extract (4%) combined with organic boosting substances cow dung (5%) and cow urine (5%) acts to increase growth in coriander.
