After care

• When the seedling reach 75 cm height, the shoot tips are nipped off to encourage side shoots.The plants which are exposed to heavy winds, slender branches are liable to be damaged and break easily at the joints, especially when fully loaded with fruits .In such situations, mounds are to be formed around the tree trunks up to height of 30-45 cm from the ground level. In young plantation inter crops like cowpea or bhendi or ground nut can be cultivated till the moringa plants become dense and cover the interspace.
