Abstract

Moringa oleifera, a multi-purpose woody species that is increasingly being cultivated in Burkina Faso. The purpose of this study is to determine the best way to produce Moringa seedlings. The study was conducted at AMIFOB, Ouagadougou in (12°7’32’’N et 01°40’24’’W). Germination tests of Moringa seeds and seedling growth were carried out with newly harvested seeds, one and two-year-old, in plastic pots and directly on the ground, arranged together in ambient atmospheres receiving a daily water supply of 250 ml. Seedlings from the pots are transplanted to the same substrate on the 35th day after sowing. The results showed that the age of the seed has a significant effect on the germination rate of the seeds (p0.05). The recovery rate for seedlings from pots is 83.33% compared to 65.56% for those from direct seeding on the ground. The germination rate of older seeds is low and the water content of the substrate influences the germination rate of Moringa seeds
