Pruning of Moringa oleifera

1. Trim and dwarf

The stem of Moringa oleifera is relatively fragile and tender, so in order to better harvest leaves, pods and seeds of Moringa oleifera, it is necessary to strictly control the height of Moringa oleifera. Cut off all the side branches that occur when Moringa grows to 60 cm, and it is best to always control the height of Moringa at about 1.5 m, and the older plants can be trimmed to less than 1 m every year, otherwise the density will be affected and the growth will be slow due to the excessive height of Moringa. After that, in order to promote the growth of Moringa oleifera, fertilizer should be applied in time to lay a good foundation for the emergence of new shoots.

two。 Often trim Moringa oleifera from the top

Throwing them under the tree can be used as the best mulch to inhibit the growth of weeds.

The technical requirements of Moringa oleifera cultivation are not high, and the occurrence of diseases and insect pests is relatively less, generally timely and appropriate spraying, can prevent and control common diseases and insect pests.
