Moringa cultivation Fertilization Recommendations

Fertilizer  and irrigation are recommended for maximum moinga productivity.

While  planting moringa tree

Addition of 300 g (10.5 oz) of complete fertilizeror

0.5–2 kg

(1.1–4.4 lb) of manure .

Positive yield response has been reported at N fertilization
rates as high as 350 kg N per ha (312 lb N/ac).

While Pinching (Nearly 75 days after sowing)

Nitrogen @ 44g / tree

Ring trenches are dug about 10 cm from trees during the rainy season and filled with green leaves, manure and ash, and then covered with soil. This is said to promote higher fruit yields.

Spray application of GA3 @ 20 ppm on 90th day of sowing is said to increase all the pod characters, such as length, specific gravity, number of seeds, flesh content and pulp, more than untreated check.

Trees have  been reported to benefit from integrated (organic + synthetic) fertilization. Seedlings should be pinched at 1 m (3.3 ft)  tall or 2 months after planting to stimulate side branching.

Moringa Cultivation-Spacing

Spacing between moringa trees can varied depending upon our production expectation.  Following are  commonly  recommended spacing between moringa plants

Moringa plants spacing 

For leaf production  moringa spacing-

0.75 m (30 in) within rows and 1 m (3.3 ft) between rows

0.75 m x 1 m

For pod production moringa spacing

2.5 m × 2.5 m (8.2 ft × 8.2 ft).

Moringa Oleifera variety from pure line breeding program ensures HIGHEST PRODUCTIVITY & drought-tolerance, growing typically in tropical regions that can begrown in varied types of soils.  AGF Moringa PKM1 bears the best of all moringa traits and is evolved through pure line selection that is why AGF Moringa PKM1is being world leader in large scale moringa plantations for fresh fruit production.

Moringa and amino acids content

Moringa oleifera Nutrient data

Moringa oleifera belonging to the family Moringaceae is a handsome softwood tree, native to foothills of Himalayas in India, also called as “Miracle Tree” because of its exceptional nutritious value ever found on our planet and enormous benefits to humanity. In India it is grown all over the subcontinent for its tender pods, leaves and flowers. This is a backyard tree for daily use in millions of homesteads in South India.

MORINGA PLANTATION

Japanese NGO Nippon International Cooperation for Community Development (NICCO) is promoting high-value crops in the development of district Muzaffargarh,

Muzaffargarh is a district in the south of the Punjab province of Pakistan.  It is part of Saraiki Waseb.  This district affected by a flood,  more than 1,600 people and disrupted the lives of 12 million.  Heavy rain lash the country again raising the prospect that more homes and crops will be swept away.

NICCO rec started working in Pakistan two years ago after the floods.  They started rescue and rehabilitation work in flood-hit districts. In the second phase of project, they had begun development of areas by promoting awareness, besides providing fertilizer and other farm implements aimed at increasing the income of the local people.

They were focusing on moringa crops helping local people earn heavy foreign exchange.
