Physical characterization of the fruit, germination capacity and growth in the nursery of the: Moringa oleífera Lam, under four substrates in the municipality of Turbo Antioquia
Due to the promise of the Moringa oleífera Lam sample, in the area of Urabá and the municipality of Turbo for animal and human nutrition and the ecosystem services of the plant, an investigation was carried out that characterized the fruits and evaluated reproductive characteristics (germination).and vegetative in the nursery stage.This evaluation was carried out on isolated trees that were found and that can serve as a seed source for the propagation of the species in the territory.The study trees (4) were georeferenced and 20 silique-type fruits were collected from them to finally select 10 of each.In the characterization phase, the variables total fruit length, fruit diameter, total number of seeds, seed diameter and seed weight were studied; In the nursery phase, the variables germination, root length, plant weight and plant length were studied.Analysis of variance was applied to the data obtained at a level of (p≤0.05).When significant differences were found, a Tukey test was performed.In the characterization phase, statistically significant differences were found in the fruit length variable and in the nursery phase they were found in the root length, plant weight and plant length variables, indicating that the physical characteristics of the fruits and the reproductive characteristics of the evaluated trees allow a multiplication of the species equal to that which has been reported in other studies.Based on these results, it is convenient to carry out other studies related to the growth in the field of the species and the evaluation of the products and by-products that are obtained for the different fields of interest.
