As a first time agriculturist, after much deliberations, i am planning to go for moringa cultivation in 3 acres land of mine near Tindivanam. The soil texture is sandy loam and pH value is around 6.5 to 7.0 at different places and EC dSm level is good with aorund 0.14 - 0.16 . Practically one or two farmers only have gone for moringa cultivation.

Yet i want to take the risk and go ahead and i seek suggesstions from farmers who have experience in moringa cultivation.

1. Timing and cultivation process
2. precautions to be taken
2. Marketing arrangements that can be made and contact

Send me a mail

Thanks

Moringa tolerates a wide range of environmental conditions. It grows best between 25 to 35oC, but will tolerate up to 48oC in the shade and can survive a light frost. The drought-tolerant tree grows well in areas receiving annual rainfall amounts that range from 250 to 1500 mm. Altitudes below 600 m are best for moringa, but this adaptable tree can
grow in altitudes up to 1200 m in the tropics. Moringa prefers a well-drained sandy loam or
loam soil, but tolerates clay. It will not survive under prolonged flooding and poor drainage. Moringa tolerates a soil pH of 5.0–9.0.

Preparing the field
Moringa requires thorough land preparation and a well-prepared seedbed. At AVRDC, moringa is planted on 30-cm-high raised beds to facilitate drainage. Bed widths being tested at the Center vary from 60–200 cm.

Choosing a variety
Among moringa species, M. oleifera and M. stenopetala are most commonly grown. M. oleifera is most widely cultivated and the focus of this guide.
Varieties within M. oleifera differ in growing habit, leaf, flower, and pod characteristics Numerous accessions are being evaluated at AVRDC for superior production and nutrition qualities. Currently we recommend growers to use locally adapted lines. Characteristics of superior types include wide and dark green leaves, long and tender pods, bushy habit.

Please update your experience on Moringa cultivation, in a detailed manner. I am also planning to try Moringa. Please suggest care that should be taken, and also whether you went for another type of produce from Moringa.

Thank you D N Rao
