Moringa stenopetala (Baker f.) Cufodontis is important and valuable indigenous tree species in lowland area of Ethiopia. And also important economically, socially and in the livelihood of farmers and play a key role in ecosystem resilience under climate change scenarios. In this context, the intraspecific variability in plant functional traits can be determinant to improve species fitness for specific area. Therefore, this research aimed to select better provenance for Moringa Stenopetala in the study area. The provenances of Moringa Stenopetala trees those have more common and abundantly were selected and seeds were collected and sowed in nursery. After taking appropriate nursery management germination, survival, height, RCD, branch number, above and below ground biomass of seedlings were measured in each provenance. The result shows that, Derashe, Humbo an.. View More»
