The objective was to study the effect of moringa leaf extract (MLE) spray at 0.0, 2.5, 5 and 10 gm /L on vegetative growth, yield, leaf area, oil percentage and the anatomical leaf structure of sage plant under sandy soil conditions. Spraying with MLE especially at highest concentration (10gm/L) significantly increased the plant height, number of leaves, number of branches, yield and essential oil percentage in herb. In addition such treatment markedly increased the percentage of most essential oil component and enhancement the characteristic of leaf anatomy of sage plants. | ||||
