Thank you for the update.

SocialJustice:
This new organic rave makes no sense to me, why should I be limiting myself to 5 tonnes for a plant that can produce twice that without loss in oil quality. It is something to be applied to the skin not even eaten.

At the rate the world's population is growing, inorganically produced food is the only way to go. Scientists are trying as much as possible to start growing plants with hydroponics to produce more food from less land.

Hydroponics vegetables are the best and do not need washing from farm to your plate as it is produced without soil in a controlled indoor environment.

Moringa oil is a product that can replace a lot of poisonous substances currently being used in the cosmetics industry and the market is growing insanely. Who really cares if manure is used instead of synthetic nutrient concentrates? Maybe for leaf producers but definitely not for oil producers. The fact that this wonder oil comes from a plant alone is more than enough for it to be termed organic.

Bro, please what time of the year is best to plant Moringa for someone hoping to plant for the seeds?

I think its good from April to July, so there'll be sufficient water for it before dry season. I planted mine in late April an they are doing fine.

Thank you for the update.

You're welcome.

Any flowering or fruiting now? [/quo

For now, there is none. may be, it'll start late in the year. the growth is not fast, which I believe it's largely due to poor soil fertility.

Guys, is there anyone farming Moringa, on a reasonable scale, in the South Western part of Nigeria? I would like to have a conversation before setting up my farm early next year. Any updates would be quite helpful, thanks.

Guys, please anyone on this thread farming Momax in South West Nigeria, kindly offer guidance. There are some questions I have such as:

1) does Momax do well in the SW, as much as it does in the North (or at the very least close to that), all other things being equal (best farm practice, good soil type and so on)?

2) are these figures, for land preparation, reasonable in South West, Ogun State:
Landclearing 70k per acre
De-stumping 15k per acre
Ploughing 9k per acre
If No to #2, can anyone put me in touch with someone that can do it for a more reasonable price?

Emmachille was very helpful as i spoke to him over the phone but his operations are based in the middle belt and i just feel it is better to inquire further as to anyone who has done the above in the South West, specifically Ogun State or states with similar weather like Osun, Ekiti, Ondo.

Any idea would be helpful and is welcome.
Thanks in advance guys.

We are familiar with ogun state vegetation, we've work there 3 times this year and we are currently working in imeko ogun state of a 80hectares land preparation project

Very simple.
Just try to ensure you work backwards. That is, find out the specifications of your target market and ensure your produce meets that.

5,000 seedlings available in Ogun state @ cheap price.
You can contact me for details

[quote author=kpas4kpas post=82935550][/quote] Are you in Ogun state? If yes location?

Are you in Ogun state? If yes location?

Yes Sir
Ihunbo after sango/camaan land before Idiroko

EMMAACHILE:
I am hoping to get a safe land as soon as possible or else may goto other states where its favourable. Its expected to last above 15 years in optimum production. This can be a game changer if all things go well.

Expected yields is as fast as 6 months and a tree is expected to produce twice a year. First year projected yields is about 2 tonnes per hectare.

A hectare is expected to host about 1660 trees

@emmaachile, how are your moringa trees doing? Going by your post in April, the 1st expected yields should be around October (6 month projection). Have you started harvesting? Please can you share pictures and updates? it's been a while you updated us. Thank you very much bro.

Good thing you're following in detail. Please Emmaachile I need updates too.

Yes, i certainly am following our forerunner in detail o.

If you have observed, i have been a doubter of Momax 3 yield claims ( even though i bought and planted some myself). But Emmaachile has been confident of the yield claims so far, so i hope to be finally convinced when i see his results.

.

EMMAACHILE:

You and this doubt. Hahaha. I will post pictures tomorrow morning. The flowers are aborting and coming up all the time likely due to the rains. I notice moringa seem to have a definite time to produce pods.
The local one in my house is also aborting fruits due to the heavy rains.

Wow even rain can disturb it like this. It means it has to flower in dry season for pods to successfully form. Thanks for the update.

.

EMMAACHILE:

The ripe season seem to be June and November/December for the pods to set.

So you're saying the trees will continue trying to flower until pods come or they could stop before November/December?

.

EMMAACHILE:

After they abort, it will flower again until the weather condition is right before it produces pod. I will snap the floor of the trees tomorrow to see the aborted flowers.

OK, cool.

.

EMMAACHILE:
Aborted flowers

That is to say one should get ready to sweep his compound continuously during flowering period. . Bala will be more useful, not only at the gate. Lol. There should be solution to it. Use the concept of preventing flower abortion in tomatoes and other vegetables during rainy/hot season. There should be solution to it.

I'm happy to see you here. Please share your knowledge on flower abortion prevention.

Flower abortion is a symptom and evidence of stress in plants. And the way stress is addressed in humans is the way I address it in plants.

Thanks, how can it be treated and the plant able to flower even in rainy season?

Moringa tree has to be prunned if it must yield quality and quantity

From your moringa tree image you planted it by the fence and the root is not probably receiving enough water.

Spam bot knocked out oga Emma yesterday again while trying to respond to questions on his broilers' thread.

imhere:

Hmmmm! Of course you are right. Pruning is an invaluable technique. It is so powerful, but it is a double edged sword which can be disastrous. If done wrongly, it will reduce yield. But my concern is this: does it really worth the effort? To prune 1 acre farm.... So, one needs to look at the economic value of the stem and leaves in comparison with the fruits.

Oga Emmaachile, please is it worth it to forgo some leaves in order to get more fruits? I pray spam bot doesn't knock you out again because I have noticed it that it is anti- good info. Lol. It hates figures. Hehehehe. And that's automatic 24 hours knock out. Please, just try to give summary of economic value of all the various parts of moringa. You guys are pushing me to look at this tree.

imhere:

Hmmmm! Not absorbing water even in this rainy season? With how oga said he suspects rain as one of the reasons for flower abortion? I really dont think its root is that invasive. I may be wrong, but there is sense in your two posts which should answer more questions about the tree.
