How to Purify Water With Moringa

Seeds

• Allow seed pods to dry naturally on the

tree before harvesting;

• Remove seed husks, leaving a whitish

kernel;

• Crush the kernels to a powder with a

mortar;

• Mix the mixture with a small quantity of

clean water in a small cup;

• Pour the mixture through a tea strainer or sieve into a cup. Its best to cover the strainer with a piece of clean cloth;

• Add the resulting milky fluid to the water you wish to purify;

• Stir quickly for 30 seconds, then slowly and regularly for five minutes;

• Cover the water and do not disturb it for at least an hour;

• The clean water may be siphoned or poured off the top of the container.

How to Purify Water With Moringa

Seeds

• 50 – 100 mg of ground seeds treats 1li. of

water, depending on how clear the water

is.

• One can try experimenting with amount of

seeds and stirring times to find what works

for the kind of water you will purify.

• The seed cake left over after extracting oil

can still be used for water purification.

Cultural Management

• grows best in hot, semi-arid tropics

• drought tolerant

• grows with rainfalls of 250-1,500 mm per year

• tolerates light frost in sub-tropics

• good temperature range is 25-350C

• prefers well drained sandy loam or loam soil,

can tolerate clay soil, but not grow well in water-

logged soil,

• prefers neutral to slightly acidic soil.

• It tolerates a wide range of pH (5-9), grows

well in alkaline conditions up to a pH of 9.

• It is a fast growing tree, in a year it can reach up

to 4 m (15 ft).

• Regular pruning is advised to form a shrub for

easier harvesting.

• Breaking off tender tips to cook when trees are

about 1.3m tall will make the trees more bushier

Propagation. . .

Malunggay can be propagated by:

seeds

cuttings

Seeds . . .

how ?

mature seeds should be soaked in water for 1 day.

plant seeds 1 cm. deep and 2 cm. apart

water lightly daily, seeds should germinate within 1-2

weeks.

seeds can be planted in polybags in the nursery or

directly in the field.

Transplanting . .

seedlings are ready for transplanting when they reaches

60 to 90 cm tall.

Cuttings . . .

• cuttings should be taken from healthy and

woody branches of the tree.

• 45 cm to 1.5 m long and 10 cm thick.

• cuttings are cured for 3 days in a shady area,

then planted in the nursery or directly in the

field.

how ?

Transplanting . . .

roots are allowed to develop first before it is

planted out after 2 to 3 months.

• when planted in the nursery, plant 1/3 of the

cutting’s length directly into a polybag containing

3 parts soil and 2 parts sand.

• soil should be moist but not over-watered
