Tips to Maximize Moringa Seed Oil Yield
Maximizing yield is crucial to your commercial Moringa cultivation success. While trial and error is one path, it’s not the only option. Among the industry’s most valuable resources are experienced growers willing to share their expertise. Advanced Biofuel Center has researched out to the most important factors effecting your commercial cultivation with view — to help you get the most out of your harvest.
The planting of MOMAX3 perennial Moringa crop for plantation for seed oil production is considered to be a “high specialty “ farming operation.
Essential factors which will determine efficacy of Moringa seed oil production plantation are quality planting stock, Growing climate and Weather conditions at the time of planting.
Moringa Seed oil yield and resource use efficiency depend on successful plant establishment in the field, and it is the vigour of seeds that defines their ability to germinate and establish seedlings rapidly, uniformly, and robustly across diverse environmental conditions.
Improving vigour to enhance the critical and yield-defining stage of crop establishment remains a primary objective of the Advanced Biofuel Center (ABC).
Having carried out various traits and experiments under different soil and climate for years together ABC have been able to produced world’s highest yielding variety popularly known as MOMAX3 Moringa cultivar. Ten years work produces World’s highest yielding Moringa Seed variety which keeps flowering and fruiting after 10 years.
1. Start with Good, Fresh, Healthy Genetics
“The most important thing, on top of everything, is genetics. There are so many genetics out there right now, but the top performing perennial cultivar is only one: MOMAX3 Moringa seed
ABC’s new seeds promise to increase yield from two to three tones of Seeds per hectare per year for a tree of prime age, to more than 8 tones — more than three times the industry average. The average yield of Moringa oil Seeds elsewhere in world has been stagnant at around less than one tone of seed per hectare per year.
The new seeds will also enable Moringa trees to reach maturity much faster. MOMAX3 Moringa tree starts to bear fruit four months after planting and will produce a higher ratio of oil
The MOMAX 3 seedlings are expected to yield 8–10 tones of Seeds per hectare with 2 harvest per year
“The interest from growers in acquiring MOMAX3 Moringa has been extremely high. They see it as providing them with a competitive edge because of its characteristics.”
“MOMAX3 will give growers a competitive advantage in the marketplace, maximize returns for our growers

2. Maintain a Comfortable Environment for the Plant and the Genetics You’re Growing
Soil is one of the most important resources for man and it represents the foundation for global crop production. For that reason, it requires special care and practices.
The key to good soil performance is the implementation of proper management practices during the preparations stages. Specific practices, which provide healthy and fertile soil, must also be developed and implemented with special care. These practices include:
· Proper soil tillage
· Balanced fertilization management
· Sufficient water
· Protection against various insect pests, weeds, and diseases

Pruning as A Strategic Practice to Ensure Maximum Seed Oil Yield in Perennial MOMAX3 Moringa
Pruning is an orchard maintenance practice that refers to the selective cutting away of a portion of a tree or shrub for horticultural production improvement. To simplify, pruning modifies the form and growth of permanent crops.
As a practice, pruning should be taken very seriously. In fact, in MOMAX3 Perennial Moringa Pruning is more important than any other permanent crop production. To ensure adequate yields MOMAX3 requires regular and properly managed pruning. Below are three reasons why pruning is so imperative:
· Pruning balances tree growth as well as fruit production
· Pruning improves pest and disease management
· Pruning manages the size and the shape
MOMAX3 Moringa requires a different approach to pruning, one that is specific to its structure, age, and growing conditions. To Learn More About the perfect pruning technology for MOMAX3 Moringa trees attend Moringa FarmStay
5. Ensure Stable Yields with Regular MOMAX3 Trees Maintenance
Growers who want to achieve high yield and quality crops must practice crop maintenance regularly throughout the growing season.
Crop maintenance practices which are necessary for proper crop growth are as follows:
1. Weeding
2. Irrigation
3. Fertilization
4. Insect pest and disease control
5. Removal of standing water
6. Pruning
Each of the aforementioned practices needs to be done in a timely manner. However, the right time for performing crop maintenance practices will depend on growth stage and weather conditions.
6. Boost Yields with Micronutrients
Plant nutrients are the basis of plant life, providing all elements necessary for growth. They come in the form of fertilizers, whether in solid or liquid state.
To ensure good and quality yield, a grower has to provide plants nutrients during the entire crop production cycle. Only well-nourished plants will give a planned yield and more importantly, plants will be more resistant to various insect pests and diseases as well as unfavorable soil and weather conditions.
“The right amount of fertilizers given at the right time is the key to abundant and quality seed yield.”
The recommended farm practice is to apply Biofertilizers at specific plant growth stages so that nutrients are available when plants need them most. After reviewing the soil analysis, the grower has a clear picture of how to treat the soil to ensure plants an ideal growth media. Moringa Crop have strictly determined growth conditions and we need to consider them.
7. Effective Moringa Integrated Pest Management Plan
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an overarching strategy with specific protocols for preventing pests in an agricultural environment by employing techniques for identifying, managing and eliminating pests should they arise. It is a better use of resources to prevent a pest problem from occurring by creating an inhospitable environment for pests, facilitating induced systemic resistance and proper operation design.
With Moringa being an agricultural crop, the solutions to its cultivation problems lie within traditional agriculture. A well-crafted IPM plan is an effective strategy for every Moringa cultivator to mitigate crop loss, increase quality and utilize correct techniques to achieve the desired result.
Nowadays the demand for organically grown produce and products are gaining popularity all over the world. Organic production has the advantages of producing chemical residue free produce, environmental safety. Therefore , an organic IPM program needs to be developed and applies at the right moment in a pest’s life cycle, when the biopesticide will be most effective.
While working In Moringa operations at Moringa India, we have developed a solid organic IPM program
8. Be Prepared for Harvest
Reaping the fruits of your labor is not an easy process, but rather one fraught with risk, potentially causing high levels of stress if not thoughtfully designed. Poor harvesting techniques may lower the harvest’s quality, which ultimately impacts your financial bottom line and can create potential brand and even industry damage with distribution of low-quality products.
Harvesting is incredibly important and often underestimated in scope and importance. Utilizing proper planning will increase redundancy and preparedness enabling successful, regular harvests, which will keep your operation running smoothly.
Designing your operation with flow and efficiency in mind facilitates smooth transitions from production field to product processing, to drying and storage.
9. Know What Your Market Needs Are and Grow Accordingly
Products that commercial cultivators bring to market now will determine the public opinion about Moringa and its efficacy, as well as influence future consumer consumption patterns. By investing in your harvest planning and operations, you’re investing in yourself, your brand and the industry’s reputation. This isn’t just your job as a producer: It is your responsibility to the industry and your consumers as well. By approaching harvesting properly with planning and standardization in mind, you will set yourself up to reap the “flowers” of your labor for years to come.
