The present study effect of different planting density on growth parameters of moringa for leaf production (Moringa oleifera Lam.) was carried out during (Feb-Dec.) 2016 in the vegetable field unit, Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai University, Annamalai Nagar. The treatment consisted of five different planting density viz.,T1 (45×45 cm), T2 (60×60 cm), T3 (75×75 cm), T4 (90×90 cm) and T5 (120×120 cm). Among the five different treatments, the treatment T5 (120×120 cm) recorded highest value for plant height, number of branches, number of leaves and stem girth.Keywords
Spacing, Plant Height, Stem Girth, Number of Leaves, Number of Branches.

The present study effect of various drying methods on the quality of moringa leaf powder (Moringa oleifera Lam.) was carried out during (Feb-Dec.) 2016-17 in the post harvest technology lab. Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai University, Annamalai Nagar. The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Block Design with four treatments and five replications. The moringa leaves were dried into powder under four different drying methods viz., T1 (outdoor drying), T2 (indoor drying), T3 (oven drying) and T4 (microwave drying). Among the different treatments T3 (oven drying) recorded high powder yield and also recorded highest value for iron and zinc content. The treatment T2 (indoor drying) recorded high powder yield, besides the same treatment also recorded highest value for beta-carotene and ascorbic acid.Keywords

The present study effect of different planting density on leaf yield and quality in leaf production of moringa (Moringa oleifera Lam.) was carried out during (Feb-Dec.) 2015-16 in the vegetable field unit, Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai University, Annamalai Nagar. The treatment consisted of five different planting density viz., T1 (45×45 cm), T2 (60×60 cm), T3 (75×75 cm), T4 (90×90 cm) and T5 (120×120 cm). Observations on growth and yield characters were recorded at 35 days interval and totally eight harvest were made during the study period. The treatment T5 (120×120 cm) recorded highest value for leaf weight, herbage yield per plant and chlorophyll content.Keywords
