Reproductive phenology of different accessions of Moringa oleifera in relation to fruit and seed set

Variable duration of different reproductive phenophases of 16 accessions of Moringa oleifera Lamk. (Moringaceae), a valuable and multipurpose plant of India were investigated. The investigations were concentrated on different phenophases starting from anthesis to seed maturation, in respect to fruit and seed set. The study revealed that initiation of each reproductive phenophase i.e., from bud initiation to fruit and seed maturation, their respective duration and fruit and seed quality varied among the accessions growing in the same climatic conditions.
