              <text>ials were carried out to evaluate the effect of Moringa oleifera leaf extract as a&#13;
growth hormone on growth and yield of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentumL var.&#13;
Rodade).&#13;
In the greenhouse, five treatments were used: the control, where only water&#13;
was added (M0), second control where ethanol 80 % was added (ME), moringa&#13;
extract applied once at 2 weeks from emergence (M1), moringa extract applied at 2&#13;
and 4 weeks from emergence (M2), and moringa extract applied every 2 weeks to&#13;
maturity,starting from two weeks from germination (M3).The same treatments were&#13;
adopted in the field except the ME which was considered unnecessary after&#13;
observing the results of the greenhouse experiment. Results showed that moringa&#13;
extract increased growth and yield of tomato in both greenhouse and field. Moringa&#13;
extract significantly increased above ground dry matter yield (DM), root dry matter&#13;
weight and plant height for the crop. Yields obtained at MI, M2 and M3 were&#13;
increasing in extract at M3.</text>
