Moringa aqueous extract as a biostimulant on ‘MD-2’ pineapple plants in acclimatization phase
Keywords:
Bioestimulant, Organic culture, Moringa oleiferaAbstract
Pineapple (Ananas comosus var. comosus) has a high demand in the international market. However, the organic cultivation development for this fruit is still limited. The use of biostimulants can be a viable alternative because it increases crops quality and yield. Moringa oleifera Lam., leaf extracts are assigned biostimulant activity due to their chemical composition. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of the moringa aqueous extract as biostimulant on the ‘MD-2’ pineapple in vitro plants in acclimatization phase. The kind of application (foliar, substrate and foliar + substrate), the effect of the dilution of the aqueous extract (dilutions 1:2, 1:4 and 1:8) and the effect of the frequency of extract application (7, 14 and 28 days) on pineapple plants were evaluated after 180 days in acclimatization phase. The greatest biostimulant effect was achieved with the foliar application and 1: 8 dilution of the moringa aqueous extract in the pineapple seedlings treated with respect to the rest of the treatments. Significant differences weren’t observed in morphological indicators for the application frequencies of aqueous extract which were evaluated.
