Planting techniques of Moringa oleifera

Moringa oleifera is a kind of plant, which is mainly planted in tropical areas of China, such as Guangdong, Hainan, Taiwan and so on. It has high ornamental, edible and economic value, and many farmers grow it to make money, so how to grow Moringa oleifera? Let's get to know it.

1. Sowing seeds

The seeds of Moringa oleifera should be soaked in clean water for 24 hours before sowing. Generally, strip sowing is used to sow the seeds on the ground with a distance of 1 cm and a ditch depth of 2-2.5 cm. The seeds are evenly sowed into the ditch and covered with soil after sowing. After sowing, shading is used to cover the shade to keep the bed moist to facilitate seedling emergence.

2. Transplanting and planting

The transplanting and planting of Moringa oleifera is different from other seedlings, because the problem of irrigation should be taken into account, so it is suggested that transplanting should be carried out in overcast and rainy days, and enough fixed root water should be poured after planting, so as to effectively improve the survival rate of Moringa oleifera. Because the demand for water of Moringa oleifera is not high, it is only necessary to keep the soil moist when transplanting. The planting density of Moringa oleifera needs to take into account the planting purpose. If it is used for ornamental purposes, the planting density can be appropriately larger. If it is used as an economic wood, the planting density can be appropriately lower.

3. Fertilizer and water management

In the aspect of fertilization, it is necessary to combine chemical fertilizer and organic fertilizer, balanced fertilization, and use soil testing formula to balance fertilization. Moringa oleifera is planted in the cold winter season, so it is necessary to topdressing and applying organic fertilizer according to the actual situation. Because it is located in the subtropical area with more annual precipitation, Rain Water is abundant, and farmers can irrigate according to their own actual situation in order to effectively control the soil moisture.

4. Pest control
