SITE SELECTION

SITE SELECTION 

• Moringa favors well-drained soil
• Ideally the rainfall should be within an annual range of 900 to 1300 mm
• Avoid soils with termite infestation.

LAND PREPARATION

• Slash and remove debris from the proposed field
• Plough and harrow the field to loosen the soil
• Spacing between plants should be:

• 2m by 2m for moringa seed harvest
• 2m by 1m for moringa leaf harvest.

• Dig holes 30 centimeters deep. For mixed cropping, the planting stations should be 4 meters apart or more depending on the type of crop to be planted
• Mix the soil with manure and fill it back into the pit.
