Dear Sri Vaishak,
PKM-1 variety Drum stick is released by Tamilnadu Agricultural University , Periyakulam, Coimbattore, Tamilnadu and it is very good and popular Annual variety of Drumstick, not only in Tamilnadu, but also in all moringa oleifera growing states both in qulaity wise, taste wise and quantity/highest yield wise also.
No much information, I have, on ODC variety drumstick.
with best wishes, g.p.rao, farmer

We have tried both the varieties in our farm It has been absorbed that the ODC variety is better than PKM 1. Yield is higher than PKM 1 and the market acceptance is also good… ODC pods are green in color and having long self life which gives good price in the export mamket. ODC pods can be easily marketable in metro cities like chennai, Banagelore or Mumbai … Now we have 20 acres of ODC and PKM-1 and PKM-2 in 1 acre each …

PKM-1 and PKM 2 , we have in very lesser area… Here PKM -2 variety plants, we keep for some R& D work as the variety is good for by products of morunga… As far as PKM -1 is concerned , the yield , pod color and sizer all not satisfied us so we have not selected any tree for taking germination purpose seeds… We have seeds of PKM - 1 which are not graded and kept only for oil grinding , if your want you can get it for 300-400 INR… We are the only farmer in TamilNadu doing ODC-3 … we started in 3 acres now we reached around 20 acres…

Hello Sir,
I have mango farm of 1 acre . I want to do intercropping . The plants are 4 years old . Can I go for moringa cultivation . My water is only rainfed irrigation.
I need odc variety of moringa.
Thanks
Narendra
Dear narendr_06,
Morunga is a sun loving plant which required clean sun light… so I would not recommend you to go inside 4 years old manga orchid as a inter crop… You can go with mango but your manga tree must have below 2 years old…
vasudhafarms,
Which variety of seed you want , ODC or PKM-1 ? We have very limited kilo grms of graded ODC … As per as PMK-1 is concerned we have very less no of trees because that variety performance was not good so we have not graded the trees , we have only oil purpose seed of PKM-1 … We will not sell oil purpose seed to farmers in the name of germination…

You always referring ODC or PKM -1. We know PKM-1. But kindly enlighten us the Full Farm or meaning of ODC
ODC means OttDanChatra , a place near madurai , the drumstick hub of tamilnadu…
Can you tell in which State this comparison of ODC and PKM 1 was done? Also details of ODC and source to get seed will be appreciated.

Dear Sunagri,
The comparative analysis is done at our farm which is located in Tamil Nadu…
Dear narendra…
I would not recommend ODC as an inter crop , for inter cropping you can plant some local(county) varieties or Bhakiya annual variety…
Is it possible to cultivate Moringa PKM1 in Meerut Uttar pradesh
