This study aims to analyze the reject produced by the desalinators implanted in the semi-arid Pernambuco in contact with the seeds of Moringa oleifera Lam. For this, Moringa seeds were collected and prepared with the following treatments: reject (control), reject with whole seed with and without husks, reject with crushed seed with and without husks, seed residue with and without husks, in five replicas. Each replica was constituted with doses equivalent to 2.0 g of Moringa seeds for 200 mL of reject, with contact time corresponding to 30, 60, 120 and 180 minutes, in a completely randomized design, under laboratory conditions, total of 140 experimental units. The physical-chemical and statistical analyses were performed through analysis of variance (ANOVA), and the F test, at confidence interval of 95%. It has been found through laboratory tests that seeds with crushed or ground Moringa husks are equally effective at adsorbing sodium from 1,868,0 mg/L to 24,6 mg/L (98,7 %), calcium from 1,005.0 mg/L to 894.6 mg/L (11%), magnesium from 741.0 mg/L to 728.3 mg/L (1.7%) and chloride from 6,997.5 mg/L to 6,782.4 mg/L (1.8%). Therefore, Moringa seed can be considered promising in the adsorption of chemical elements of saline water desalinizers.

The effect of different levels of nano- and mineral-Iron and their method of application on anatomical properties of the upper and lower epidermis of Moringa (Moringa oleifera Lam.) leaves was studied. Seeds of Moringa were sown in 15 kgs soil capacity pots during the growing season of 2018/2019 arranged as a factorial experiment within Completely Randomized Design, with three replicates. The factorswere a method of fertilization(soil or foliar application),three levels i.e. 0,180 and 360mg.l-1 of each of mineral and nano-Iron. The total number of experimental units was 2×3×3×3 for method, nano-Iron, mineral-Iron, and replicates respectively.The application method caused an increase in the mean dimensions of normal epidermis cells, stomatoes, and hairs.These traits were increased as Iron levels increased. Where 360 mg.l-1 of both types of Iron gave the highest dimensions. Soil application gave higher values of epidermis dimensions than that obtained from the foliar application. The number of stomatoesincreased with increasing the level of Iron. The number of normal epidermis cells was conversely proportioned with their volume.

The application of moringa leaves flour is finite. This research aims to analyze the substitution effect of Moringa leaves flour on snack bars. This experimental research design uses a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three substitution levels including F1 (95% wheat flour and 5% Moringa leaves flour), F2 (90% wheat flour and 10% Moringa leaves flour) and F3 (85% wheat flour and 15% moringa leaves flour). Data from organoleptic test results were analyzed using the ANOVA test if there are significant differences followed by Duncan's further tests. While the results of proximate levels and calcium levels were analyzed using an independent t-test. The organoleptic analysis of the hedonic test showed that the selected snack bar formula was F2. The result of proximate analysis of selected snack bars contains 12.52% water, 1.65% ash, 19.61% fat, 9.23% protein, 56.99% carbohydrate, and 344.14 mg /100g calcium. The contribution of selected snack bar energy is 441.37 kcal per 100 grams and 203.03 kcal per serving size (46 gram). This research concludes that proximate levels in the form of water, ash, fat, protein, carbohydrate have significant differences (p <0.05) in each analysis.  Selected calcium snack bar levels have high calcium claims.

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness and the best concentration of Moringa leaf extract (MLE) in the citrate-egg yolk (C-EY) to maintain the motility and viability of spermatozoa kacang goat. Semen was collected from 3 goats aged two years; by using the artificial vagina method. The semen was evaluated macroscopically and microscopically. The semen that had >70% sperm motility and >250x106/ml sperm concentration was divided into 4 equal tubes, each diluted with100% C-EY (P1), 10% MLE+ 90%C-EY (P2), 20% MLE +80% C-EY (P3), and 30% MLE+70% C-EY (P4). The diluted samples were then stored in a refrigerator (3-5?C) and evaluated for motility and viability every 24 hours. The study was designed using a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of four treatments and five replications. The results showed that the addition of MLE in C-EY significantly affected goat spermatozoa's progressive motility and viability. The data showed that the spermatozoa kept during four days in a diluent of P2 had higher (P<0.05) motility 44.67±4.80% and viability 74.24±4.46%than the other three diluents of P1(36.00±4.70%; 70.10±3.6%), P3(33.67±0.42%; 66.85±4.99%) and P4 (29.67±3.99%; 63.96±5.44%). This study concluded that adding 10% MLE was the best concentration as source energy in 90% C-EY diluents, which effectively maintained the motility and viability of kacang goat spermatozoa for four days of storage at a temperature of 3-5oC.

ABSTRACT Indication of salt-tolerant cotton cultivars can make the agricultural exploitation with saline water irrigation feasible in the Brazilian semi-arid region. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the gas exchanges and growth of cotton cultivars irrigated with saline water. The study was conducted in pots adapted as drainage lysimeters under greenhouse conditions, using a sandy loam Entisols as substrate. Treatments were distributed in completely randomized design, in 5 x 2 factorial arrangement, relative to five levels of irrigation water electrical conductivity - ECw (1.5, 3.0, 4.5, 6.0 and 7.5 dS m-1) and two cotton cultivars (BRS 368 RF and BRS Safira). Increase in irrigation water salinity inhibits the vegetative growth and gas exchanges of the cotton cultivars BRS Safira and BRS 368 RF. Leaf area and instantaneous carboxylation efficiency are the most affected variables. Physiological and growth performance of the cultivar BRS Safira in response to water salinity was higher than that of BRS 368 RF.
