How to grow moringa? The latest cultivation techniques and methods tutorial

Moringa is a plant mainly distributed in the tropical regions of our country, such as Guangdong, Hainan, Taiwan, China and other areas where it is cultivated, both wild and artificially planted. It has relatively high ornamental, edible and economic value, and many farmers grow it to make money, so how should moringa be planted? Let's find out together.

1. Sowing

Before sowing moringa, the seeds must first be soaked in clean water for 24 hours. Generally, sowing is done by the drill method, opening rows on the ground with a row spacing of 1 cm and a furrow depth of 2-2.5 cm, sowing the seeds evenly into the furrows, then covering with soil after sowing, with the seeds just covered being ideal. After sowing, use shading to build a shade shed for shade, keeping the bed surface moist to facilitate seedling emergence.

2. Transplanting and field planting

Transplanting and field planting moringa is different from other seedlings, because the issue of irrigation must be considered, so it is recommended to choose cloudy and rainy days for transplanting and field planting. At the same time, after field planting, sufficient root-setting water should be watered, thereby effectively improving the survival rate of moringa. And because moringa does not have a high demand for water, when transplanting and field planting it is only necessary to keep the soil moist. The planting density of moringa needs to be determined according to the purpose of planting. If it is for ornamental purposes, the planting density can be appropriately larger; if it is used as an economic tree, the planting density can be appropriately smaller.

3. Fertilizer and water management

In terms of fertilization, chemical fertilizer and organic fertilizer should be combined, with balanced fertilization, and balanced fertilization based on soil testing and formula should be used. When moringa is planted, it is in the cold winter season, so topdressing should be carried out according to actual conditions, with organic fertilizer applied as topdressing. Because it is in a subtropical region with relatively high annual precipitation, the rainfall is abundant, so farmers can irrigate according to their own actual conditions in order to effectively control soil moisture.

4. Pest and disease control

The main diseases of moringa include root rot, anthracnose, leaf drop disease and black spot disease, which can be controlled by spraying pesticide appropriately and at the right time. The main pests include red spider mites, tobacco cutworms and others, which can be controlled by spraying with Manke.
