Drumstick (Moringa oleifera Goertn cv. PKM-1 is one of the most useful trees of semi-arid and drought prone areas. The tree is valued mainly for the tender pods which are used as vegetable. The pods are cut into pieces and used in culinary preparations, pickles and also in making drumstick curry. The use of optimum level of nitrogen fertilizer is an important factor in improving the crop yields. Response to fertilizer varies with the soil type and agroclimatic conditions. There is lack of information about the effects of nitrogen on quality of pods. Hence, investigation was carried out to find out the response of drumstick pods to graded doses of nitrogen.
