Dear friend,

Muringa is not suitable for commercial cultivation in Kerala, because high humidity climate. It is only suitable in dry climate like Tamilnadu. Try locally successful crops like pineapple, banana(Nenthran) etc...

Regards...

Sasi

Is it wise to cultivate Moringa plants in coconut plantation near Chennai. Our farm is about 20 kms crow flying distance from sea coast. Being close to sea our humidity is fairly high.

If it is wise to cultivate Moringa commercially in our area, then please advise what variety should we try.

best regards
p.s. nathan

Default Pkm 1 / Pkm2

Which is the best option PKM 1 or PKM 2?

Can the muringa be grown as intercrop in coconut plantations (trees over 20 years old)?

Dear Friend

Moringa can be intercropped in long-gestation orchards, moringa has been extensively grown in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and in a small way in Orissa and Maharashtra.

PKM-1 and PKM-2, both these varieties are being widely grown by the farmers as pure crop and as intercrop as well.

Thanks Sir. Where do we get the seeds for PKM1 / PKM2?
Does TNAU (Agri university), coimbatore sells the same?

What is the right period / season to plant them?

What should be the spacing between the plants?

Can someone help with more details regarding the same?

Thanks,
Shafi
