| সংক্ষিপ্ত: | Moringa oleifera is a species with great nutritional importance. The objective of this work was to determine the effect of pruning of biomass production and protein content in moringa. Three-year-old plants were selected according to the similarity between height and basal diameter. The experimental design was with three treatments and four repetitions. The treatments were pruned at 0.75, 1.00 and 1.50 m in height. Variables of shoot length, number of shoots, number of leaves and biomass production at four months were measured. In parallel, the moisture, ash and protein content in leaves was determined. Statistical differences (Tukey, p <0.05) were found in the growth and survival of the shoots, being the treatments 1.00 m and 0.75 m of greater height for the first and second pruning. The T3 presented 83.31 % humidity, 16.85 % protein and 12.3 % ash in the first pruning. No statistical differences (Tukey, p> 0.05) were found in biomass production, nor in leaf protein content. It is concluded that moringa is resistant to pruning at low height. Pruning increases biomass production and facilitates harvesting in moringa |
