The growing demand for food due to the increase in the world's population has led to an increased demand for chemical fertilizers of industrial origin and improper management of crops, causing adverse effects on the environment and soil. In this research, the effect of Moringa oleifera as a biofertilizer on morphometric variables (seed germination, root, and stem elongation) was evaluated in lettuce (Lactuca sativa), corn (Zea mays L.) and beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), for each species were exposed to 5 dilutions of the aqueous solution of the biofertilizer. The highest percentage of germination was observed at a concentration of 12.5% of the biofertilizer in the three species, however, no significant differences were observed between treatment and species (p > 0.05). Likewise, greater growth in stem and root length was observed at a concentration of 12.5% in the 3 species, showing significant differences between species and treatment (p < 0.05). On the other hand, it was generally observed that increasing the concentration of the biofertilizer inhibits the growth of the stem and root. The results obtained in this study could contribute as a reference to future chronic studies of exposure to biofertilizers using lettuce, corn, and beans considering other types of bioindicators to be evaluated in the plant, at different concentrations of exposure. This is to contribute to the use of biofertilizers in commercially important sustainable agricultural plantations and thus be able to prevent or mitigate environmental impacts in the short, medium, and long term on soils and crops, as well as the reduction or replacement of the use of inorganic fertilizers of industrial origin and the promotion of the use of biofertilizers.
