This study investigated the effects of four plant extracts on agronomic performance mung bean ( Vigna radiata ) during 2020 growing season at two sites in northern highlands Tanzania, namely Miwaleni and TARI Selian, located Kilimanjaro Arusha regions, respectively. The tested included Tephrosia vogelii, Clutia abyssinica, Clausena anisata , Lobelia giberroa using a randomized complete block design with replications. Extract concentrations ranged from 0 to 10,000 mg, variety “ Imara ” being used. results indicated that site significantly outperformed SARI Selian grain yield, 762 279 kg ha −1 height, 59.6 58.6 cm, Notably, L. gibelloa produced highest yield 583.6 p = 0.011) greater than C. (434.7 ). Yields T. vogelii (542.8 abyssinica (521.6 were not different . For had tallest averages 60.1 60.3 respectively, although these differences statistically significant. interaction between extract their height was also examined. At 0% concentration, (648.8 (65 cm). A concentration 100 mg generally improved yields for majority extracts, particularly (569.8 ), while higher (1,000 mg) led significant reductions especially These findings highlight importance optimizing levels considering site-specific factors enhancing productivity sustainability, emphasizing potential improving yields.
