Abstract

Justification: The search for organic alternatives to improve agricultural production has promoted the evaluation of bio-inputs with lower environmental impact and greater potential to support the sustainable management of nutritionally important crops. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Humusyl on the growth, yield, and nutritional composition of moringa (Moringa oleifera L.). Methodology: A randomized complete block design was used with five treatments: absolute control, and 100, 150, 200, and 250 g plant⁻¹ of Humusyl, each with four replicates. Plant height, number and survival of sprouts, sprout length and diameter, number of leaves per branch, fresh biomass, dry biomass, protein, macronutrients, and micronutrients were evaluated at 30, 45, and 60 days after application. Results: The treatment with 200 g plant⁻¹ showed the best performance in plant height, sprout length and diameter, number of leaves per branch, protein, calcium, iron, and zinc contents, and achieved a 74% sprout survival rate. No significant differences were observed in fresh or dry biomass. Conclusion: Humusyl applied at a dose of 200 g plant⁻¹ improved the morphoagronomic and nutritional characteristics of moringa, demonstrating its potential for sustainable agricultural systems.
