Some of you may recall that we recently finished bagging and sowing over 10,000 bags for our Moringa leaf cultivation. Growth so far looks promising and healthy. Below, you'll find pictures from our nursery on day 15-20. We will probably wait another 20 days or so before transplanting them into the field.
Given the scope of pilot is limited, we expect to come away with extra saplings which will be available for sale. Reach out to us if any of you are interested in starting your own Moringa cultivations and looking for saplings.We would be interested in buy-backs and long term cultivation relationships as well.
Based on unscientific estimates, we have seen approx 85-90% germination. Given the weather, I am pleased with our statistics at this point.
Fresh Moringa leaf is tender and full of nutrition. These are in demand in multiple industries in various forms. Our current stocks will be transplanted into the field at about 15", in about 3 weeks from now.

I do not think you can intercrop much in 10x10 ft. You may consider Moringa leaf cultivation in your 2 acre plot. It is a short term crop and can be stored for a few months. Moringa enjoys hot weather as well. Income will depend on yield which in turn depends on youe soil, water, cliamatic conditions and mgt practices.

Deletethanks for reply. i would like to know when to sow seeds of moringa? and, what should be spacing between plants? for leaves when to harvest? multiple harvest is possible or it is one time only?
thanks.

15x15 ft is a good spacing to follow for vegetable purpose.If you are doing leaf cultivation, 2x2 ft is optimal. Pods yield 9 months of the year while leaves can be harvested every 50-60 days.
DeleteGreat to see the nursery. Pls reply about the the cost of the PKM1 seeds/Kg.
