- 51. How to PurifyWater With Moringa Seeds • Allow seed pods to dry naturally on the tree before harvesting; • Remove seed husks, leaving a whitish kernel; • Crush the kernels to a powder with a mortar; • Mix the mixture with a small quantity of clean water in a small cup;
- 52. • Pour themixture through a tea strainer or sieve into a cup. Its best to cover the strainer with a piece of clean cloth; • Add the resulting milky fluid to the water you wish to purify; • Stir quickly for 30 seconds, then slowly and regularly for five minutes; • Cover the water and do not disturb it for at least an hour; • The clean water may be siphoned or poured off the top of the container.

- 66. Cultural Management • growsbest in hot, semi-arid tropics • drought tolerant • grows with rainfalls of 250-1,500 mm per year • tolerates light frost in sub-tropics • good temperature range is 25-350C • prefers well drained sandy loam or loam soil, can tolerate clay soil, but not grow well in water- logged soil, • prefers neutral to slightly acidic soil.
- 67. • It toleratesa wide range of pH (5-9), grows well in alkaline conditions up to a pH of 9. • It is a fast growing tree, in a year it can reach up to 4 m (15 ft). • Regular pruning is advised to form a shrub for easier harvesting. • Breaking off tender tips to cook when trees are about 1.3m tall will make the trees more bushier
