Abstracts

EN

The results of this research reveal Moringa oleifera to be an effective nutrient-agent for biofertilizer production. Herein, plant analysis data indicate Moringa to be a good nutrient carrier of elements that can enhance effective and productive cultivation of crops, while in-turn maintaining soil fertility status.
