[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Moringa crops cover 13,250 hectares in the state of Tamil Nadu in India providing a net income of ~$4000 (USD) per hectare per annum. It forms an important part of smallholder livelihoods in the state of Tamil Nadu in India which lies in a semi-arid agro-ecosystem.\u00a0 Our project is testing the efficacy of floral interventions to boost pollinators numbers within fields growing perennial moringa as the main crop. We selected 24 sites \u2013 12 as control; and 12 with floral interventions (see map below). Within the intervention fields, marigold has been sown as an intercrop between rows of moringa trees and red lentils as a border crop on the field edges. Two seasons of data on pollinators, pollination and yield metrics have been collected and are currently being analysed.<\/p>\n
