As in the Rift Valley to the land area of one hectare plant only between 30-50 bar, because besides the kelor tree also plant other food crops such as buckwheat, corn, and other plants for vegetables, especially beans. So, in this way because kelor tree has the ability to absorb water from the ground even though the fetus was minimal to moisten soil, plants, will join a mushrooming. Moreover, if the trees are big and kelor high, will also function as a protected tree.

In Arba Minch and Konso, kelor tree is used as a plant for the storm erosion, soil conservation, and terracing. So even though the rainy season in the most minimal amount, dropping rain water can be arrested by kelor root system, and in the dry season "savings" kelor water around the roots will be a source of water for other plants. Also, because the root system is quite kelor meeting, landslide disaster rare.

Just as in the Rift Valley, in this area is the land of trees kelor made for many types of crops, including corn and buckwheat, and vegetables, as well as more far more to industrial plants such as coffee, cotton, pepper, and sugar cane.

Very unique is the habit of Arba Minch has limited land, ranging from about 0.1 hectares or 1,000 square meters, only hundreds or even tens of square meters only. So that the tree kelor only be living fence, barrier or land tree perambat the same as in Indonesia.

But the result, if the leaves can be used as a vegetable, then interest rates will still be kept to a fruit and produce seeds that can be sold to foreign companies who need to make flour or oil as a raw material for making medicines and cosmetics monumental.

One of the nature of the benefit to membudidayakan kelor tree that has been known since a long time, namely the lack of fertilizer and pest rarely attacked (by insects) or disease (by microbes). So that the cost for fertilization and pest and disease control is relatively cheap. In fact, from the experience of the farmers kelor a long dive, it is known that fertilization is a good organic fertilizer comes from, especially coming from nuts (eg, mung bean, soybean and peanut long) around the tree ditanamkan kelor.

Also experience a long tradition of kelor plant material as nutritious drugs in the area is that the root is very good treatment for malaria, reduce pain, high blood pressure penurun, and so forth, are leaves to counter high blood pressure, diarrhea, diabetes melitus (urine sweet), and heart disease.

Need for seed kelor benefits that already have been developed through the UNDP program, which is as koagulator to purify water in a rapid, inexpensive and safe, such as the ITB (Bandung Technology Institute)

With a different pH value, the powder between 100-150 mg / powder / liter of water, results in high water turbiditas (800-10000 FTU), when compared with the general koagulan such as Al2 (SO4) 3 on a new effective pH 7 only.

Also compound the womb of the seed powder kelor have antimikroba, especially against the bacteria. So even if there is water in the Coli bacteria (one of which is not required in the drinking water), will tereduksi or dead.

And, according to calculations that have been tested by a team of experts try from UNDP, the seed needs kelor for drinking water in coastal areas or swamps, 2-3 trees mature enough for a year with a family of 6-8 people, with the calculation of the water needs of about 20 l / day / life.
