        abstract = {This study explores the biochemical composition of deproteinized leaf juice (DPJ) extracted from Azadirachta indica A. Juss. (neem), Lantana camara L. (lantana) and its potential applications in plant growth and development. Using an environmentally sustainable extraction method that includes cleaning, crushing, heating, and centrifugation, fresh leaves were processed to obtain protein-free juice. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis revealed distinct phytochemical constituents, many of which play crucial roles in plant physiology. Identified compounds included growth-promoting bioactive, phytohormone precursors, and allelochemicals that can influence germination, root-shoot elongation, nutrient uptake, and stress resilience in crops. The presence of secondary metabolites with antioxidative, antimicrobial, and signaling properties suggests that these botanical extracts may serve as natural bio stimulants, enhancing crop productivity and sustainability. This study provides a scientific basis for integrating DPJ as an eco-friendly alternative in precision agriculture, supporting sustainable crop management and plant biofortification strategies.},
