Morphological variation in Moringa oleifera Lam. at different population densities
The tree species are used to improve the nutrition of ruminants and Moringa oleifera, can be a feeding alternative, for forage of high nutritional value. However, topological arrangements modify the structure of the plant and consequently the nutritional value. Therefore, the effect of different population densities (D50, D100 and D200 for 50, 100 and 200 thousand plants ha-1, respectively) and 5 cuts every 28 days on the morphological characteristics of Moringa oleifera was evaluated, under a design of complete random blocks with arrangement in divided plots and three repetitions, in storm conditions and during the period from July to November 2017. The variables evaluated were height regrowth (HR), basal plant diameter (BPD), number of branches (NBP), relative content of chlorophyll (RCC), leaf area index (LAI) and specific leaf area (SLA). The results indicated that there was no interaction (p> 0.05) between population densities and cuts. It was observed that the HR, BPD and NBP values decreased (p> 0.05) with increasing plant density; the opposite case happened with LAI and SLA. The RCC was similar (p> 0.05) in all the evaluated densities. In conclusion, increasing the moringa population density from D50 to D200 negatively affected the aerial morphological components of the plants, mainly the stem, which influenced the number and size of branches.

Las especies arbóreas se utilizan para mejorar la nutrición de rumiantes y Moringa oleifera, puede ser una alternativa de alimentación, por el forraje de alto valor nutritivo. Sin embargo, los arreglos topológicos modifican la estructura de la planta y en consecuencia el valor nutritivo. Por tanto, se evaluó el efecto de diferentes densidades de población (D50, D100 y D200 para 50, 100 y 200 mil plantas ha-1, respectivamente) y cinco cortes cada 28 días sobre las características morfológicas de Moringa oleifera, bajo un diseño de bloques completos al azar con arreglo en parcelas divididas y tres repeticiones, en condiciones de temporal y durante el periodo de julio a noviembre de 2017. Las variables evaluadas fueron: altura de rebrote (AR), diámetro basal de planta (DBP), número de ramas (NRP), contenido relativo de clorofila (CRC), índice de área foliar (IAF) y área foliar especifica (AFE). Los resultados indicaron que no hubo interacción (p> 0.05) entre las densidades de población y cortes. Se observó que los valores de AR, DBP y NRP disminuyeron (p≤ 0.05) al incrementar la densidad de plantas; caso contrario sucedió con IAF y AFE. El CRC fue similar (p> 0.05) en todas las densidades evaluadas. En conclusión, al aumentar la densidad de población de moringa de D50 a D200 afectó de manera negativa los componentes morfológicos aéreos de las plantas, principalmente el tallo, el cual influyó sobre la cantidad y dimensiones de ramas.
