- Intervention effect Moringa extract increased growth and yield of common beans in both greenhouse and field trials, relative to water-only control.
- Intervention effect Moringa extract had no significant effect on dry matter yield, root dry matter or plant height of maize in the greenhouse.
- Intervention effect The application of extract every 2 weeks to maturity (M3) gave the highest dry matter, root weight, height and crop yields for beans in greenhouse and field.
- Intervention effect The application of extract every 2 weeks to maturity (M3) gave the highest dry matter, root weight, height and crop yields for maize in the field.
- Recommendation The authors recommend applying the extract at M3.
