hello sir
Environmental requirements for moringa.
Climate Tropical or sub-tropical
Altitude/Height 0-2000 meters
Temperature 25-35°C
Rainfall 250mm-2000mm.
Irrigation needed for leaf production
if rainfall < 800mm
Soil Type Loamy, sandy or sandy-loam
Soil pH Slightly acidic to slightly alkaline (pH 5-9)
The land should be slashed where necessary and all unwanted materials removed from
the field. If planting density is high, the land must be ploughed and harrowed to a
maximum depth of 30 cm. If planting density is low (>1 m x 1 m), it is better to dig
pits and refill them with the soil.
Moringa can be propagated from seeds or from mature cuttings (brown wood).
it is advisable to irrigate regularly during the first 3 months after seeding.
Fertilization must be done during land preparation, before seeding. After it is important
to apply manure or compost at least once a year, for instance before the rainy season,
when the trees are about to start an intense growth period (pruning can also be done
at this time). If there are two rainy seasons, two applications are advised.
The most common pests are grasshoppers, crickets and caterpillars.
