Overview

Drumstick, also known as Moringa ( $M or in g a o l e i f er a$ ), is a fast-growing, drought-resistant tree highly valued for its nutritious leaves, pods (the “drumsticks”), and seeds. It thrives in tropical and subtropical climates, making it a valuable crop in many parts of the world.

The ideal temperature for growth and flowering is between $2 5^{\circ} C$ to $3 5^{\circ} C$ but it can tolerate higher temperatures and is drought-tolerant once established. It generally does not tolerate frost well.

Soil: It adapts to a wide range of soils but prefers well-drained sandy loam soil with a $pH$ range of 6.0 to 7.0. Poor drainage and waterlogging can lead to root rot.
