Moringa oleifera is a multi purpose tree rich in vitamins and can serve as valuable nutrition source for the local population in West-Africa. Furthermore, leaves are being dried and processed to powder which is sold at local markets. The seeds can be eaten fresh or used for oil extraction. We observed 3 different criteria of fruit damage (dried up - ligneous; mould - with fungi; with herbivory damage). Mould and fruits with herbivory damage did not differ significantly from intact fruits regarding the number of damaged seeds. However, dried up fruits, appearing as ligneous, had a significantly higher number of damaged seeds, which can not be used for further processing or consumption. The reason is not yet clear, but we assume stagnant moisture to be the reason for the dried up fruits and aborted seeds (the plants choke on the wetness). Cultivation of Moringa should be carried out on well drained soil.
