EFFECT OF FOLAIR APPLICATION OF MINERAL AND ORGANIC FERTILIZERS TO EQUALIZE SALT STRESS ON (MORINGA OLEIFERA L.) UNDER ARISH CONDITIONS

Moringa oleifera, commonly known as miracle tree, has been suggested to be rich in its nutritional, pharmacological and immunological values in animals and humans globally. The tree is a promising option for farmers, especially in the rural areas in the Hindu-Kush Himalayan region, for the sources of food and organic fertilizers and as the tools of climate change adaptation and mitigation. The purpose of the current review is to describe the nutraceutical and immunopharmacologic values of Moringa and its critical role in food security and climate change situation in the Himalayan countries including Nepal, India, Pakistan, China and others. Besides, the article presents few recommendations to upgrade the practical and theoretical approaches of conservation of this plant in these countries.

In sustainable farming, the use of organic fertilizers is a costly but environmentally-oriented type of soil–crop system management. Among essential microelements, cobalt (Co) deficiency commonly occurs in arid and semi-arid climatic regions suitable for the growing of moringa (Moringa oleifera Lam), an economically important, multipurpose tree. Therefore, in this study, two pot experiments were conducted to identify the interaction effects of Co and organic fertilizers in modifying the growth, yield, and nutritional composition of moringa. Each experiment consisted of 21 treatments as combinations of seven concentrations of Co (0.0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0, 12.5, and 15.0 mg L−1) and three organic fertilizers (chicken manure, CM; farmyard manure, FYM; and compost, Comp). Co, at 7.5–12.5 mg L−1, in combination with CM, significantly increased the height, leaf number, leaf area, and dry weight of plants, as well as N, P, K, Zn, Cu, protein, total carbohydrate, total soluble solids, total phenolics, carotenoids, and vitamin C in leaves. Co was positively correlated with N, P, K, and the dry weight content in moringa leaves, and this synergistic interaction may underpin the remaining parameters enhanced by Co. The cobalt effect was dose-dependent, so the improved growth, yield, and nutritional composition of moringa can be managed through a proper Co dose in combination with organic fertilizer. Co and organic fertilization could be a promising strategy for improving moringa plant productivity and its biological value in conditions of sandy soils and Co deficiency.

The photosynthetic efficiency in plants is affected by salinity. Focus of this study was to observe the consequences of salinity on the rate of photosynthesis in Moringa (Moringa oleifera L.) plants. Experiment was conducted under field conditions with 3 replicates and data of treated and non-treated plants was collected accordingly. Photosynthetic rate was affected by different levels of salt stress. The change in photosynthetic was attributes were determined by OJIP and light response curve calculations by using Fluor Pen [FP 100-PS (Photon system, Czech Republic)] and DUAL-PAM-100 (Walz, Germany). Salinity stress decreased chlorophyll a fluorescence characteristic. The significant quantity of electron transport (φEo), quantum yield of primary photochemistry (φPo), proficiency per trapped excitation (Ψo) and performance index of photosystem II (PSII). Performance index (PIABS) was also declined with salinity in M. oleifera. Our results showed that electron transport rate and photosynthetic rate were inhibited by salinity in M. oleifera. However, in M. oleifera electron transport pathway of PSII was repressed and found varied in plants which are salt resistant. It was concluded that Y(I), ETR(I), Y(II), ETR(II), and Y(NA) were decreased by increasing salinity while NPQ, Y(ND), Y(NO) and Y(NPQ) increased in plants having resistance to salt stress

Moringa Leaf Extract

The use of liquid organic fertilizers is currently increasing. This study aims to determine the effect of the moringa leaf extract filtering method (Moringa oleifera, Lam) as a liquid organic fertilizer for growth and yield of mustard greens (Brassica juncea, L) and to determine the response of plant to the concentration of liquid organic fertilizer. The research design used was a two-factor factorial randomized completely block design with three replications. The first factor treatment was the type of moringa leaf extract filtering method (filtered with cloth, filtered with ordinary filter paper, and filtered with Whatman filter paper). The second factor was the concentration of organic liquid fertilizer from moringa leaf extract (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%). The data were analyzed with variance at the 5% and 1% significant levels, and were further tested using Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at the 5% significant level. The results showed that the filtering method of moringa leaf extract had an effect on mustard greens for the parameters of plant height, leaf width, fresh plant weight, consumption of mustard greens per plant, and weight of consumption of mustard greens per plot. The filtering treatment of moringa leaf extract using ordinary filter paper gave the best results, with the best concentration of extracts was 5%.
