Heading Back and Pinching Affects the Biochemical and Physiological Parameters of Annual Moringa cv.

The physiological and biochemical alterations in M. oleifera (L.) Millsp.cv. PKM 1 caused by heading back and pinching treatments were studied in an experiment. After the new shoot was begun by heading back and pruning treatments before flower initiation, the level of chlorophyll, nitrate reductase, soluble protein, and total phenol was measured. Chlorophyll, nitrate reductase, protein, and phenol content in leaves were all affected by the height and stage at which apical growth was stopped. Except for soluble protein, which was raised by heading back at 30 cm, heading back at 70 cm combined with pinching 100 days after heading back had a significant impact on physiological and biochemical variables.
