“…Aunque esta planta, en particular, se desarrolla de mejor manera por debajo de los 500 msnm y no por encima de los 1 500 msnm (Olson y Fahey, 2011). Algunos autores indican que moringa requiere de un mínimo de 250 mm de precipitación anual, y puede tolerar suelos arcillosos y arenosos (Valdés-Rodríguez et al, 2014), pero los suelos mal drenados perjudican su crecimiento (Velázquez et al, 2016). Con respecto a sus requerimientos nutricionales, existen estudios relacionados con la fertilización orgánica en moringa, los cuales demuestran su impacto positivo en la producción de biomasa foliar principalmente para el consumo humano y animal (ganado bovino) Lok y Suárez, 2014).…”

Moringa oleifera Lam. por sus multiples usos tiene un enorme potencial como alternativa de cultivo sustentable para implementarse en la zona centro del estado de Veracruz. El presente trabajo evalúa la respuesta vegetativa y reproductiva de la especie a la fertilización orgánica después de poda en esta región. El diseño experimental fue completamente al azar con árboles de moringa de tres años de edad, podados por única vez a una altura de 1.5 m, a los cuales se les aplicaron dos abonos orgánicos: lombricomposta y bocashi y un control. Los abonos se aplicaron al inicio del experimento y posteriormente cada cuatro meses. Las variables: 1) número de rebrotes; 2) sobrevivencia de rebrotes; 3) longitud de rebrotes; 4) grosor de rebrotes; 5) número de racimos por planta; 6) número de botones por racimo; 7) flores por racimo; 8) frutos por racimo; 9) número de frutos por planta; 10) longitud de frutos; 11) número de semillas por fruto; y 12) dimensión de semilla, se midieron cada mes durante 10 meses. Los tratamientos se evaluaron mediante un análisis de varianza de una vía (p< 0.05). Los resultados mostraron que la aplicación de los abonos orgánicos no influyó en las variables 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 y 8 al no existir diferencias estadísticas significativas en éstas; excepto el número total de frutos por planta, donde las plantas con bocashi lograron la mayor productividad. Se concluye que el mejor abono para la producción de frutos fue bocashi, mientras que en lombricomposta no se observaron diferencias significativas.

“…( Moringa ), Ricinus communis L. ( Ricinus ), and Jatropha curcas L. ( Jatropha ) are oily species recognized by their multiple industrial applications [1,2,3]. In their original region, Moringa trees are typically found growing in areas with poor sandy soils and at altitudes below 1400 m above sea level (masl), where it can survive temperatures up to 40 °C and minimal annual rainfalls of 250 mm [1,4]. Ricinus is found in tropical and subtropical lands, where precipitations can be as low as 400 mm per year and with altitudes going from zero up to 2300 masl [5].…”

Moringa oleifera Lam. (Moringa), Jatropha curcas L. (Jatropha), and Ricinus communis L. (Ricinus) are oily species known by their capability to grow in tropical and subtropical lands. However, there are no studies comparing their growth and recovery capabilities after root pruning and transplant. The purpose of this research was to compare and analyze propagation, growth, and recovery performance of these species after root pruning and transplant. We sowed 100 seeds per species and monitored their survival and growth during a 63-day period; after this, we uprooted the plants and pruned their roots 4.0 cm from their base and transplanted them. We monitored their recovery over 83 days, and then uprooted plants and measured above- and belowground data, digitized their roots in three dimensions, and calculated biomass fractions. With this information, we established allometric equations to estimate biomass fractions and root distribution models. Results indicated that Ricinus had the highest propagation capabilities. Jatropha and Ricinus had similar recovery after root pruning and transplant. Moringa had the lowest propagation and recovery from transplant. Concerning belowground data, root pruning increased root density more than three times in Moringa, four times in Ricinus, and six times in Jatropha. Nevertheless, the three species maintained natural root trays. Ricinus had the longest and thinnest roots and the highest number of branches, followed by Jatropha, and finally Moringa, with the smallest quantity and the shortest and thickest roots. We concluded that the three species recovered well from root pruning and transplant, with improved root structure upon applying these practices.

“…In addition, practically all organs of this plant can be used-from the root, stem, leaves, to the flowers and fruits [2]. Different applications have been reported in the agriculture, fodder, biofuels, and water treatment industries [1]. However, its use in human nutrition is the most relevant, since it has considerable health benefits due to the high number of bioactive compounds (phenols, flavonoids, vitamin C, carotenoids, etc.)…”

Moringa oleifera Lam is a plant that has recently gained importance as a food because of its nutritional value and bioactive compound content and because practically all the organs are usable. The use of nanoparticles has appeared as an alternative to increase bioactive compounds in plants. The goal of this work was to determine if the application of copper nanoparticles would increase the content of bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity in M. oleifera. Copper (Cu) nanoparticles were applied to the leaves at four different times throughout crop growth. The biocompounds were analyzed after the second, third, and fourth applications. The results show that application of Cu nanoparticles has a beneficial effect on the accumulation of bioactive compounds in M. oleifera leaves. In addition, the antioxidant capacity and carotenoid and chlorophyll contents in the leaves of M. oleifera increased after Cu nanoparticles application. The same effect was not observed in the fruit of M. oleifera. Here, the bioactive compound contents diminished. Therefore, the use of Cu nanoparticles can be an important alternative to improve the quality of this plant, particularly that of the leaves.
