Studies which have been clearly validated and documented involve Moringa plant aqueous extracts against human enteric pathogens, nutritional and phyto-chemical constituents (Valdez-Solana et al., 2015; Nweze and Nwafor, 2014), and more recently animal studies. Not much data exists on Moringa extract efficacy against crop pathogens in-vivo (Harvell, 2002; Smith-Hall et al., 2012;
Berger, 1977). In order for natural biological disease and pest control strategies to become a reality, there is need to carry out scientific, controlled and calculated field studies.
