Kovilpatty moringa, also known as Bush Moringa, is a high-yielding variety developed for compact growth and early harvesting. Known regionally as Murungai (Tamil), Drumstick (English), and Sahjan (Hindi), it is rich in iron, calcium, and essential nutrients. Unlike tall tree types, this bush variety stays compact and produces long, fleshy pods quickly, making it ideal for home gardens and farms across all parts of India.
How to Sow
Sow the seeds directly in well-drained soil under full sunlight. Maintain spacing of 4 to 6 feet between plants. Water moderately and avoid overwatering during early growth.
Harvest Timeline
Seeds germinate in 7 to 10 days. First harvest begins in 90 to 120 days. Harvest pods when they are long, smooth, and tender.
