| Abstract | ||||
| This study was conducted to enhance the vegetative growth, fruits yield and chemical constituents of the coriander plant, in a trial to reducing the residual effects of the chemical fertilizers. Two methods for moringa leaf extract (cold or boiled extract) with different dilutions (25, 50, 75 and 100%) beside the distilled water as the control were used. The results cleared that the superior plant dry weight, N, P and K% in leaves were recorded by using the boiled MLE at 100%. In addition, the heaviest seed index (weight of 1000 fruits) was recorded by using the boiled MLE at 75%. In addition the maximum essential oil percentage was recorded by using 100% from the boiled or the cold MLE and linalool was the main component in the essential oil. | ||||
