The present study effect of different planting density on growth parameters of moringa for leaf production (Moringa oleifera Lam.) was carried out during (Feb-Dec.) 2016 in the vegetable field unit, Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai University, Annamalai Nagar. The treatment consisted of five different planting density viz.,T1 (45×45 cm), T2 (60×60 cm), T3 (75×75 cm), T4 (90×90 cm) and T5 (120×120 cm). Among the five different treatments, the treatment T5 (120×120 cm) recorded highest value for plant height, number of branches, number of leaves and stem girth.
