Morphological differences of reproductive material of native marango (Moringa oleifera Lam.) and improved variety (Moringa oleifera var. PKM)

Abstract

With the aim to contribute to the scientific identification of Moringa oleifera Lam., reproductive material, was carried out a morphological characterization taking account the vegetative and reproductive structures as leaves and branches confi guration and, pods and seeds. The methodology were develop through observation fi eld and measurement of the structures during yield period at Instituto Nicaragüense de Tecnología Agropecuaria (INTA) plantation. The results registered shown values statically different in all variables between the samples, suggesting morphological differentiation.
