Natural biostimulants are the future target for plant development inducer in both standard and critical environmental conditions. One of the potential candidates of biostimulant resource is Moringa oleifera. Hence, the future expanded study of biostimulants is essential to solve land and water pollution problem-linked crop plantation. This preliminary study aims to investigate the fundamental contribution of the liquid extract of Moringa oleifera leaves on the Vima-4 mung bean's variety of growth. The concentration of the selected liquid extract of Moringa oleifera is 25%, 50%, and 75%. Notably, the application of Moringa oleifera leaves extract significantly increases the green been growth rate. The basic parameters such as the stem length, the number of leaves, seed mass, and the number of seeds in a pod increase after the treatment. It is hypothesized that a higher concentration of phytohormone within the Moringa oleifera leaves water extract could be the vital trigger for the green been growth. Therefore, the underlying data of this study of Moringa oleifera leaves extract may become the potential biostimulant on plant growth dan development. This extract may offer an alternative solution to decrease chemical fertilizer utilization and improve seed production-related food resilience and market supply. © 2021 Author(s).
