Moringa oleifera is a plant with high nutritional value so it may be used as food for both humans and animals, also it is widely known in traditional medicine. Main aim of this study was to compare the yield of Moringa in a greenhouse at a temperate zone and a tropical zone. The study was carried out in Techiman, a city in Ghana as the tropical experimental site and greenhouse of Mendel University in Brno, Czech Republic as the temperate site. The number of seedlings germinated was recorded after 7, 12, 17 and 22 days. The highest number of seeds germinated after 7 days in the tropical region and the least occurred after 7 days in the greenhouse. The height of the seedlings was recorded after 7, 21 and 35 days, the average height from the greenhouse seedlings and tropical experimental site were 20.63 cm and 29.14 cm. Germination rate for the tropics was 35 % in case of greenhouse only 25.8 %. This can also be concluded from this experiment that, Moringa oleifera is adapted to conditions of the tropical zone but can also grow in greenhouses in temperate zones.
