| What does the practice of alley cropping involve? | the practice of growing food crops in alleys between hedge rows of trees or shrubs which are regularly coppiced or severely pruned | Alley cropping with their rapid growth, long tap root, a few lateral roots, minimal shade and large production of high protein biomass, moringa trees are well suited for use in alley cropping system. Alley cropping is the practice of growing food crops in alleys between hedge rows of trees or shrubs which are regularly coppiced or severely pruned. This agro forestry technique is used with PKM 1 annual moringa in Southern India. | 218 | definition | 1.000 | Alley cropping is the practice of growing food crops in alleys between hedge rows of trees or shrubs which are regularly coppiced or severely pruned. | 23 | page=23,block=0 | 0.850 | valid |
| What type of plant is Moringa (Moringa oleifera)? | a tropical plant and exhibits certain degree of xerophytic behaviour | Moringa (Moringa oleifera) is a tropical plant and exhibits certain degree of xerophytic behaviour. Botanically the perennial moringa types are featured with large size water storage cells in limbs and low transpiration rate to tolerate against drought and also have the adaptation of shedding all its leaves to reduce transpiration loss. | 30 | definition | 1.000 | Moringa (Moringa oleifera) is a tropical plant and exhibits certain degree of xerophytic behaviour. | 30 | page=30,block=2 | 0.850 | valid |
| What period is considered a lean time for moringa crops? | a lean period during November to February | The moringa crop performs well during summer season and not much during the winter season. Hence there is a lean period during November to February. A study was conducted to induce off season flowering and pod set during November to February. | 106 | definition | 1.000 | Hence there is a lean period during November to February. | 51 | page=51,block=0 | 0.850 | valid |

| What process is performed using a specific gravity separator to remove small, shriveled, and damaged seeds? | carried out with the specific gravity separator | Small, shriveled and damaged seeds are removed. Grading is carried out with the specific gravity separator. The fraction from 2 and 3 gives higher seedling emergence and vigour. | 59 | definition | 1.000 | Grading is carried out with the specific gravity separator. | 77 | page=77,block=1 | 0.850 | valid |
| What property are leaves believed to have in relation to intestinal worms? | considered to be anthelmintic (able to kill intestinal worms) | In India and the Philippines, a poultice made from fresh leaves is applied to reduce glandular swelling.

| What is the arrangement of trees in alley cropping? | Trees are planted in hedgerows forming wide alleys | Sunflower is particularly recommended for helping to control weed growth. moringa trees are reported to be highly competitive with eggplant and sweet corn and can reduce their yields by up to 50% (Fuglie and Sreeja; AVRDC). The farmers can be encouraged to intercultivate millets or vegetables viz., tomato (Lycopersiconesculentum), chili (Capsicum annuum), beans (Phaseolus vulgaris),gourds curry leaf (Murraya koenigii) and other leafy vegetables. In the silvi-pasture system it was observed that farmers preferred tree species (other than fruit trees) like teak (Tectona grandis ), neem (Azadirachta indica), and subabul (Leucaena leucocephala) mainly on the farm bunds and in some cases as plantations. 4.3.2.
