When will the Moringa oleifera seed be sown

The sowing time of Moringa oleifera seeds is usually in early March, which is the best time to plant seedlings. Moringa oleifera seeds are shelled, it should be noted that when raising seedlings of Moringa oleifera seeds, they must be shelled before they can be sown. Only in this way can it be more suitable for the growth of Moringa oleifera.

I. planting methods

1. Sowing method: there are two ways to plant Moringa oleifera: one is seed direct seeding. Sow the seeds directly in the planting hole, sow 2-3 seeds in each hole, cover the soil with 1.5-2.0cm, and leave a strong seedling after emergence. The second is to adopt the method of raising seedlings and transplanting. That is, the use of nutrition cup seedlings, transplanting, pay attention to protect the young roots. The planting density should be determined according to the planting purpose. For example, the planting density for picking young leaves can be higher, and the planting density for picking pods or seeds can be smaller.

two。 Water and fertilizer management: the water demand of Moringa oleifera is not large, as long as the proper humidity is maintained during the seedling period, and proper irrigation is needed in the dry season to facilitate growth. Moringa oleifera is resistant to barren and generally can not be fertilized, but in order to promote growth and increase yield, fertilization is beneficial to the recovery of postpartum tree potential and overwintering. Before picking pods, 0.3% 0.5% compound fertilizer can be applied every 15-30 days, or organic fertilizer or kitchen ash can be dug around the plant. Shallow application and rotational application are suitable for young trees, and spot application, strip furrow application and radial ditch fertilization can be adopted for adult trees.

3. Tree management: Moringa oleifera grows rapidly and generally grows as high as 3-4m in the first year, so in order to increase branches and facilitate harvest, the stem is usually fixed at about 0.5m in height. After that, the plant will be shorter than 1m in winter every year. The young leaves of Moringa oleifera can be harvested once in 15-20 days.

4. Prevention and control of diseases and insect pests: Moringa oleifera has strong resistance to all kinds of diseases and insect pests. From the perspective of domestic cultivation in China, there are slight harm caused by butterfly larvae, red spiders, leaf miners and inchworm, which can be removed by hand or removed by medicine.

Second, the function of Moringa oleifera seed

Including eczema, rich hands, athlete's foot, hot and dry headache, osteoporosis, diabetes, neurasthenia, rheumatic arthralgia, anemia, gout, insomnia, skin inexplicable itching, depression, tranquilizing nerves, menstrual pain, constipation, indigestion, desalination spots, physical weakness, refreshing, enhanced sexual function and so on. The use of Moringa oleifera also includes many functions, and the relevant countries and regions are undergoing in-depth research and development, which has made the role of Moringa oleifera further benefit mankind.

The sowing method of Moringa oleifera seed is relatively simple, and it has many functions. If the growers have market relationship, they can plant some Moringa oleifera seed properly.
