“…Considering together all morphological characteristics and the biomass production, six provenances showed significant differences. The significant variability in the morphological characteristics was supported by previous studies on M. oleifera (Nduwayezu et al, 2007;Edward et al, 2014) and other species (Kozlowski and PaIlardy, 1997;Ky-Dembele et al, 2014). The number of pairs of pinnae (5-12) is within the range reported by Arbonnier (2002).…”

This research investigated the morphological characteristic variation among West African provenances of Moringa oleifera in order to select the most suitable provenance for planting in Burkina Faso. A provenance experiment involving seven provenances from Burkina Faso, one from Mali, one Ivory Coast and one from Ghana was established in June 2014 in a randomized complete block design with three replications at Ouagadougou in the North Sudanese area of Burkina Faso. Plant growth traits (height, number of branches and pinnae, leaf length and width) and biomass production (above and underground biomass dry weight, under: aboveground ratio and total dry weight) were measured on two-week old and two-month old seedlings. The result indicates no significant correlation between morphological characteristics and agroclimatic data (longitude, altitude and annual rainfall) of the seed origin. Significant variations between provenances for morphological characteristics and biomass production (P ≤ 0.05) were observed. Two-month old M. oleifera exhibited significant differences between provenances (P ≤ 0.05). The average height ranged from 107-40 cm, number of branches from 15-8, number of pinnae per leaf from 12-5, leaf length from 44-16 cm and leaves width from 105-34 cm. The aboveground biomass productions ranged from 1-14 g, underground biomass production from 1-7 g, ratio of under: aboveground from 0.4-0.9 and total dry weight from 2-21 g. Five provenances from Burkina Faso (Gaoua and Dano in the South Sudanese area, Ouagadougou, Fada N'Gourma and CNSF in the North Sudanese area) and one from Ivory Coast (Niangon-Lokoua/Abidjan) in the sub equatorial area) showed superior performances. They can be recommended for planting in Ouagadougou and other areas with similar ecological conditions.

“…Moringa is cultivated in tropical and sub-tropical areas with annual rainfall varying from less than 100 to over 1500 mm and different soils types (Nouman et al, 2012). It has been introduced into gardening systems because of its versatility (Palada and Chang, 2003;Nduwayezu et al, 2007).…”

“…Among the Indian states, southern parts of country contribute much more in production of moringa. It is a suitable tree for traditional agroforestry in the home because of its versatility (Odee et al, 2001;Palada and Chang, 2003;Nduwayezu et al, 2007). With respect to agroforestry practices, moringa grown in home gardens, in between of agricultural crop/intercrop and on the boundaries of agricultural fields.…”

Moringa oleifera is a fruit species of economic interest to West African smallholder growers. To generate benefits to poor rural communities, improved knowledge is needed on plantation management and selection of the most reliable seed sources. The aim of the study was to investigate variation in seed traits and germination rates among 12 provenances of M. oleifera from West Africa in the women gardening center named "Amicale des Forestières du Burkina Faso (AMIFOB)" located at Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso (12°7'32''N, 01°40'24''W). The authors conducted an analysis of variance, a principal component analysis on seed traits variables (length, thickness and weight) and germination rates at 5 and 12 days after seed sowing, and finally ascending hierarchical classification based on similarity indices. The results showed significant variations (P<0.05) among provenances in seed traits: Ouahigouya provenance in the Sahelian area of Burkina Faso had the largest and heaviest seeds. Germination rate was significantly different after 5 days for Ouahigouya, Ouagadougou, Koudougou, Dano and Tamale provenances (P<0.05). Five days after seed sowing, the Sahelian provenance (Ouahigouya) recorded the greatest and fastest germination rate of 63%. Correlation analyses revealed no significant links between germination rate in 5 and 12 days after sowing and seed sizes. Seed traits and germination rates did not show clear cut distinct groups between Sahelian, Sudanian and sub Equatorial provenances. This research output provides an evidence of the genetic variability among M. oleifera provenances and hence the potential for future tree improvement programme.
