Cultivation Technology

The Moringa tree is native to India but has

naturalized across tropical and subtropical regions. The tree has incredible nutritional value,
low demand for water and prolific growth and biomass production. As the seeds do not form
a staple food source, the food for the people or food for fuel issue is argued to be not relevant.
Also, the tree is able to grow in marginal lands and the leaf litter has the potential to improve
the quality of the soil and is documented as having improved the size and quality of vegetable
crops that have been intercropped with Moringa.

The productive plantation of Moringa needs to be scientifically managed for better growth
and production. The growth and yield of the plant could be improved through effective
management practices. The enhanced cultivation technology and improved inputs developed
by CJP may provide about 4000 liters of biodiesel without displacing food crop and without
utilizing prime food land in terms of sustainable farming techniques

The key factors that can influence the oil yield of Moringa are:

Climate Quality of the soil VAM INOCULATION Irrigation Weeding Pruning Use of
fertilizer Crop density High-quality stock from superior Genotype Use of pesticide Inter-
cropping Harvesting

CJP carefully manages moringa cultivation, with advanced crop practices suitable to local
soil, weather, pest, and disease conditions to ensure the high amount of oil as we have
developed enhanced technology with regards to:-

Planting materials & other inputs Crop Management Irrigation Management Fertilizer
Management Pest & Diseases management. Harvesting Management Post harvest
management And finally grading for further process

The key factors governing profitability of large scale production are:

Selection of high yielding varieties with suitable marketable quality. Sowing in a proper
season, in compliance with the latest agro techniques. Pest control Management of ratoon
crops Adoption of post harvest management.

CJP’s Researchers have developed standardized techniques for growing Moringa oleifera on
large scale. CJP ensures Organic moringa plantation right from the land preparation, crop
management to production of end product. CJP Moringa Farms are under the vigilant
supervision of agronomists, who make sure that the latest and best breed of Moringa oleifera
is being planted. However, we keep a close watch on the research results of Moringa
breeding by studying thousands of Moringa variants, identifying and collecting the best
sources of high-quality to guarantee a consistently high yield, a stem, or scion, from a tree
with a demonstrated capacity to produce many pods/seeds. This not only removed the
uncertainty from the yield, it also provides multiple harvests within a few months.
Accordingly, the enhanced variety of pkm-1 and pkm-2 with regards to seed yield and oil
yield and the enhanced MO Cultivation techniques may ensure proper and profitable
production of THE OIL CROP providing early fruition and flower
