A field experiment was conducted on moringa (Moringa oliefera Lam.) cultivars PKM 1 andbagya (KDM1) to elucidate the effect of different package of practices and growth regulators on flowering and fruit set of seed moringa. Among the various treatments, the cv PKM1 planted with 1.5 x 1.0 m spacing @ 2 plants/hill + 150% of recommended dose of fertilizer through drip + soil application of humic acid 20Kg/ha and sprayed with 0.5% of nitrobenzene (3 months after planting) combination is resulted with good flowering and other yield parameters. The result indicated that the plants grown with above mentioned treatment produced more number of flowers per cluster, more number of flowering cluster per plant, fruit set (%) and fruit yield per tree when compared with other treatments.
