Abstract
The Moringa plant is known as a magic tree because all parts of the Moringa plant can be used for various purposes such as food, health, and environmental improvement. Agricultural land affected by liquefaction poses serious problems, especially for crop cultivation farmers. Efforts are needed to restore land through adaptive plant selection, one of which is the Moringa plant. This study aims to examine the vigor of the growing strength of five Moringa genotypes planted in liquefaction-affected land in Jono Oge Village, Sigi-Biromaru District, Sigi Regency, Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. This study was designed using a Randomized Group Design (RGD) with the genotype of Moringa cuttings as a single factor, namely Kulawi02, Kulawi10, Palolo24, Balaroa05, and Tondo19. The results showed that the accession of Moringa Tondo19 resulted in a growth rate of 1.92 - 2.20 days faster, 106 per cent - 567 per cent more shoots, and a bud length of 2.38 - 8.5 cm longer compared to the other four accessions so that Tondo19 accession is recommended as an adaptive plant in the recovery of liquefaction-affected lands.
