Germination and Growth Performance of Moringa oleifera : LAP Lambert Academic Publishing : 9786202073011 : 6202073012 : 30 Oct 2019 : Moringa oleifera is the most common, extensively utilized of all the Moringa species found in Nepal. It has high commercial use because of its nutritious and medical value for which it has been widely cultivated in tropical regions of Nepal and India. However, it's cultivation in subtropical regions of Nepal is constrained by the limited knowledge on its seed germination and growth performance. The overall objective of the study was to assess growth performance of the seed types and nursery technique to recommend nursery technique for its promotion. This study was carried out to determine the seed germination percentage and initial seedling growth rate of two different seed types (Seed type 1=Chitwan & Seed type 2=Bara) of Moringa oleifera under two different nursery techniques (open and shade) in controlled conditions of nursery in Sub-tropical region.
