【 摘 要 】

Moringa (Moringa oleifera Lamk), green and red petiole, is tolerant plant to drought and widely grown in Madura Island. For that, this study aims to identify these Moringa morphophysiology and its yield. The Moringa plant were cultivated in two locations namely Bluto, a village with E5 climate type (wet month: 0-2, dry month: 10-12), and Guluk-guluk, a village with D3 climate type (wet month: 3-4, dry month: 4-6). The results show that higher humidity and air temperature were found in Bluto compared to Guluk-guluk. Such condition affected to the yield and morphophysiological character. The morphophysiology and yield of both Moringa plants in Bluto were lower than in Guluk-guluk. In September during dry season peak, and in February during rainy season peak, the morphophysiological characteristics and content of chlorophyll a, b, and total were lower in Bluto than in Guluk-guluk. Meanwhile, the quercetin content was higher in Bluto. Green petiole Moringa showed no different morphology and yield, but significantly different in physiology character than red petiole Moringa. Having more fertile of soil and more suitable climate with semi-intensive cultivation resulted higher and better plant quality in Bluto area though resulting in lower yields when compared to Moringa in Guluk-guluk.
