Optimizing germination dynamics in seven key industrial and medicinal hemp varieties through seed priming techniques: An initial study for hemp cultivation in Pakistan

Seed germination is crucial for studying factors influencing production conditions since it represents the initial physiological stage of the plant's life cycle. Hemp seeds are grown to obtain cannabinoids; however, these varieties, hybrids, and feminized seeds are costly in the market with low germination rates. Therefore, optimizing the germination of hemp seeds can play an important role in maintaining plant populations and crop establishment and can reduce seed costs. This study was aimed at evaluating the germination potential of seven hemp varieties/cultivars (Cannabis sativa L.) in response to priming with Indole Butyric Acid (IBA), moringa leaf crude extract, hydro-priming, and a control. Results showed that IBA at 1000 ppm significantly improved germination rates; while the hydro-priming exhibited the fastest germination across all varieties/cultivars. Two cultivars viz., Santhica-70 and Fedora-17 exhibited the highest germination percentages of 83% and 77%, respectively with IBA treatment; while CBD Pink Kush exhibited a germination rate of 63%. This study represents the first comprehensive investigation into seed germination and seedling growth of hemp varieties, offering insights into optimized priming agent selection for industrial and medicinal hemp crop cultivation in Pakistan, highlighting the importance of variety-specific traits and priming techniques for maximizing crop yield.

The effect of composite edible coatings on the postharvest quality of “Hass” avocado fruit treated at different harvest maturities

Edible coatings play a critical role in reducing postharvest losses during storage and supply chain of horticultural commodities. The present study evaluated the efficacy of different concentrations of moringa leaf extract (MLE) combined with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) edible coating in preserving the quality and extending the shelf life of “Hass” avocado. Fruit were harvested at different stages of maturity and evaluated by dry matter content. Different concentrations of moringa (8 and 16%) extracted with chilled ethanol (100%) and functionalized with CMC (5%), were used to treat the fruit. Treated fruit were then stored at 5.5 ± 1°C and 90 ± 5% RH for 28 days plus an additional 7 days at 23°C. The changes in physicochemical and biochemical fruit attributes were evaluated at weekly intervals. The application of moringa and CMC-based edible coatings preserved the phenolics, flavonoids, and antioxidant activity of “Hass” avocado. The treatments significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the loss of weight and firmness. Furthermore, treated fruits were found to have a delayed color change and reduction in sugar concentration, particularly mannoheptulose, compared to the control treatment. Therefore, edible coatings prepared by combining CMC and MLE could be the best alternative for substituting the currently used health-compromising synthetic chemicals.

Moringa oleifera leaf extract ameliorates collagen degradation via the inhibition of MMP‐3 expression in UVB‐induced rats

Prolonged exposure to high‐intensity UVB induces the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in skin tissue, triggering an increase in matrix metalloproteinase‐3 (MMP‐3) enzyme production and leading to collagen degradation. Moringa oleifera (MO) contains bioactive compounds known for ROS‐scavenging and anti‐inflammatory properties. However, the precise molecular mechanism of action remains unclear, requiring the inhibition of MMP‐3 activation and regulation of collagen deposition. This study aims to elucidate the potential effect of MO leaf extract‐based gel in restoring collagen deposition by reducing MMP‐3 activation in UVB irradiate‐induced collagen loss in rats. This study employed a completely randomized design, comprising four groups: a healthy group without UVB radiation, a negative control group subjected to UVB radiation and receiving a placebo, and two treatment groups exposed to UVB radiation with 5% or 10% moringa leaf extract‐based gel (MO‐5% or MO‐10%), respectively. Results showed that MO‐5% and MO‐10% significantly reduced MMP‐3 gene expression and increased collagen density compared to the negative control group (p < 0.05). Moringa oleifera leaf extract ameliorates collagen degradation by inhibiting MMP‐3 expression in UVB‐induced rats, suggesting its potential as a pharmacological and cosmetic agent for UVB‐induced skin damage.

Crop Improvement of Moringa oleifera L. through Genotype Screening for the Development of Clonal Propagation Techniques of High-Yielding Clones in Malaysia.

Moringa oleifera L. is a valuable multipurpose tree species widely planted for centuries due to its high medicinal value and antifungal, antiviral, antidepressant, and anti-inflammatory properties in the food industry. However, its cultivation is hindered by production constraints such as the unavailability of planting material and the inadequate number of high-yielding clones. Thus, a study was initiated to select high-yielding clones in terms of growth and chemical content for the mass propagation of superior moringa trees. Screening on high-yielding clones with high astragalin content was conducted through the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of moringa leaf extract. Selected genotypes were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory potential through in vitro bioactivity assays of leaf methanol extract. The effects of the rooting hormone, rooting substrates, and size of the cutting on the rooting response of branch cuttings of moringa were investigated. Results found that samples collected from different ecological zones of Peninsular Malaysia show significant variation in terms of astragalin content. The extracts were observed to show considerable variation in biological activity against the pro-inflammatory enzymes. The size of the cuttings had significant effects on the rooting of the cuttings as longer cuttings with bigger diameters rooted better than shorter cuttings with smaller diameters. Several genotypes of M. oleifera with superior phenotypic characteristics and bioactive compounds have been identified. Factors affecting the rooting efficiency and optimal conditions of rooting are suggested, which provides valuable information for the propagation of the superior planting material of moringa. This effort will ensure the sustainable production and supply of good quality raw materials for the production of quality end-products for the food and pharmaceutical industry.

Development of maize‐based instant porridge flour formulated using sweet lupine, orange‐fleshed sweet potato, and moringa leaf powder

AbstractMalnutrition and food insecurity are major public health problems in developing countries including Ethiopia. Because of an economic issue and information gap, developing countries' survival depends on foods rich in carbohydrates but deficient in protein and micronutrients. However, it is paramount to mix ingredients that complement different nutritional profiles to alleviate the problem of malnutrition. Hence, in this research, maize, orange‐fleshed sweet potato, sweet lupine, and moringa leaf powder composites were used to develop nutritious instant porridge flour through extrusion cooking. Formulations containing powdered maize, orange‐fleshed sweet potato, sweet lupine, and moringa leaf were developed in the following ratios: 100:0:0:0, 50:35:10:5, 45:30:15:10, and 40:25:20:15, respectively. A completely randomized design was used to determine the blending effect on the functional properties, proximate composition, minerals, and beta‐carotene content of formulated instant porridge flour. Whereas, a randomized complete block design was used for the organoleptic characteristics data. Accordingly, the addition of orange‐fleshed sweet potato, sweet lupine, and moringa leaf powder to maize‐based porridge showed a significant (p < .05) increase in bulk density (0.70 ± 0.02 to 0.74 ± 0.03), water solubility index (10.09 ± 0.08 to 14.16 ± 0.23), protein (9.00 ± 0.00 to 21.10 ± 0.02), ash (1.43 ± 0.07 to 3.36 ± 0.08), fiber (1.55 ± 0.05 to 3.21 ± 0.01), fat (3.37 ± 0.02 to 5.37 ± 0.07), energy (370.89 ± 0.70 to 400.53 ± 0.65), vitamin A (0.00 to 41.00 ± 1.55), iron (3.49 ± 0.02 to 9.58 ± 0.29), zinc (2.89 ± 0.01 to 3.62 ± 0.06), and calcium (40.49 ± 0.42 to 113.34 ± 0.52) contents. However, water absorption index (4.76 ± 0.01 to 3.84 ± 0.01), moisture (8.50 ± 0.08 to 5.60 ± 0.04), and carbohydrate (76.11 ± 0.22 to 66.94 ± 0.02) content were decreased as a result of blending proportion compared to maize porridge (control). Formulated instant maize‐based porridge prepared from 50% maize, 35% orange‐fleshed sweet potato, 10% sweet lupine, and 5% moringa leaf powder scored the highest (above 4 out of 5 in a 5‐point hedonic scale) in all sensory attributes. In conclusion, the addition of orange‐fleshed sweet potato, sweet lupine flour, and moringa leaf powder has improved both macro‐ and micronutrients. Therefore, the development of nutritious maize‐based instant porridge formulated from readily available and underutilized crops can be achieved by extrusion cooking that helps to reduce the prevalence of malnutrition and food insecurity.

Feasibility Study of Marigold as Intercrop in Drumstick Cultivation for Interim Income Generation

Drumstick (Moringa oliefera Lam.) PKM-1(Annual) is an important perennial vegetable crop present cultivating in India not only as vegetable and for moringa leaf powder. India is the main producer of drumstick in the world because higher contribution is due to favourable temperature during flowering and fruit development stages. Even though encountered several production hurdles resulting greater yield loss due to existing climatic conditions during fruit developmental stages. But this crop gave them perfect assurance in giving good income in an average about 2-3 Lakhs rupees over a period of 2 years. Based on weather conditions farmers were being come forwarded by training programmes conducted by our KVK from 2017-till date, we have documented the farmers results by growing intercrops mainly marigold crop. Which gives good yield and good income to the farmers before pod formation of drumstick. Marigold is 110 days crop where drumstick gives first yield after 7 months. In between marigold crop not only giving accountable benefits to the farmers and it reduces the nematode problems in the field as well explained by Steiner, 1941 Marigold (Tagetes erecta) is one of the most widely studied plant genera due to its allelopathic potential against PPNs. Marigolds’ repressive impact on nematodes has been documented for over 50 years and some studies said that spiral (Helicotylenchus multicinctus) nematodes are responsible for yield losses of 30–60% in many banana-producing countries in the tropics (Davide, 1995, Speijer and Kajumba, 1996, Kashaija et al., 2004) . The partner crops of the intercropping system share space, water, and nutrients making the most efficient utilization of available resources (Xu et al., 2020). Earlier farmers were paddy growers where they didn’t see profits by selling paddy in IKP centers or as individual sales. So We conducted trails in Huzurabad Division and Errabelli villages of Karimnagar District (Old Karimnagar District), got successful results by doubling the farmer’s income. Raised marigold seedlings in KVK during June month and supplied to the farmers. Transplanted marigold and Drumstick in July month with 60cm x60cm and Drumstick spacing was 3mx3m where 444 plants were accommodated in one acre area, Intercropping is an agricultural system that improves land use efficiency through simultaneous cultivation of more different crops in the same field using functional complementarity to increase resources utilization, increase the productivity of crops and nutrient-use efficiency (Chifflot et al., 2006; Zhan and Li, 2003) Even went through many hurdles in marigold and drumstick crops in rainy season due to paddy growing soils and water logging conditions. In this, observed positive effects on soil carbon and nitrogen of intercropping found in previous intercropping studies (Makumba et al., 2007), [1]. Results are as follows we harvested 36.80Q per acre in 8 pickings and after drumstick pods harvested from February up to June 134 pods per tree. It shows C: B ratio as drumstick (PKM1) contribution 1:11.7 and marigold (Tanindo (Yellow and Orange) contribution 1:4.3 to the farmers. The demonstration plots reported that yield of marigold and drumsticks are 38.6Q and 49.58Q per acre. Farmers got good income Rs. 2, 74,160.00 through two crops in one acre area with Marigold as inter crop in Drumstick plantation. Based on this success story of the farmers, NABARD bank started giving loans to the farmers and they published this success story in their credit linkage plan 2018-19.

Malnutrition in children can cause delays in growth and development of the brain, bones, and emotional problems. This service program aims to provide understanding to the community, especially prospective parents, about stunting and the benefits of moringa Puding. Moringa leaf Puding has important benefits in preventing stunting, especially because of the very complete nutritional content of moringa leaves. Moringa leaves are rich in protein, vitamins A, C, E, calcium, and iron, all of which play an important role in supporting children's growth and development. The protein and calcium in moringa help in the formation of healthy bones and muscles, while iron plays a role in preventing anemia that can hinder growth. Vitamins A and C support the immune system, which is important for keeping children healthy and preventing infections that can hinder growth. The activity was conducted in two stages, starting with providing information on stunting and child nutrition. The next stage involved a demonstration of making moringa Puding. The results of this program were adequate knowledge about the types of nutritional intake that are good for children as a prevention of stunting and the community was able to make nutritious Puding made from moringa leaves.

Impact of Iron Tablet and Moringa Leaf Capsule Supplementation on Hemoglobin Levels in Anemic Pregnant Women in Pariaman City, 2016

Background: Iron deficiency anemia is a prevalent global nutritional problem, particularly affecting pregnant women in developing countries. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of iron tablet supplementation and Moringa leaf capsules on hemoglobin (Hb) levels in anemic pregnant women in Pariaman City, Indonesia. Method: A total of 60 pregnant women were divided into two groups: one receiving iron tablets and the other Moringa leaf capsules for four weeks. Hemoglobin levels were measured before and after the intervention. Findings: In the iron supplementation group, the average Hb level increased from 9.05 g/dL to 9.46 g/dL, with a significant improvement (p = 0.001). Similarly, the Moringa capsule group showed an Hb increase from 8.99 g/dL to 9.27 g/dL (p = 0.019). While iron tablets resulted in a greater increase in Hb, Moringa capsules, rich in natural iron, also demonstrated significant effectiveness. The study concludes that both iron supplements and Moringa capsules are effective in increasing Hb levels, with Moringa capsules being a potential natural alternative for combating anemia in pregnant women. However, optimizing the dosage of Moringa could further enhance its efficacy. Factors such as adherence, diet, and knowledge of iron absorption enhancers and inhibitors play crucial roles in the success of the interventions.

Pelatihan Pembuatan Bakso Daging Ayam Afkir dengan Penambahan Antioksidan Alami pada Ibu Rumah Tangga di Kelurahan Padaidi, Kabupaten Pinrang

housewives in the Padaidi village, Mattiro Bulu sub-district, Pinrang regency are not economically productive; they rely solely on their husbands' income. On the other hand, this area is predominantly inhabited by chicken egg farmers. Generally, laying hens are culled after 70-76 weeks and have tougher meat compared to broiler chickens, resulting in very low market value. Therefore, technological intervention is needed to increase the added value of culled chickens. One of the alternatives to address this issue is empowering housewives to develop productive businesses in the field of processing livestock products, particularly processed culled chicken meat products such as meatballs, nuggets, sausages, and other processed meat products with the addition of natural antioxidants to produce healthier and more nutritious functional food products. The implementation method included coordination, discussions, education, training, and mentoring for partners (housewives). Based on the results, participants were very enthusiastic about attending training on making meatball from culled chicken meat with the addition of moringa leaf powder as a natural antioxidant. This training activity was expected to stimulate and motivate the local community, especially housewives, to engage in productive businesses in processing livestock products to help improve nutrition and family income.

The Effect of Moringa Leaf Extract Administration on Sperm Morphology and Blood Glucose Reduction in Alloxan-Induced Sprague Dawley Rats

AbstractIncreased blood sugar levels can be triggered by increased intake or insulin resistance, leading to increased oxidative stress that affects sperm quality during spermatogenesis. Moringa oleifera, rich in antioxidants, has been proven effective in improving sperm quality through several studies. This study aims to evaluate the influence of moringa leaf extract on sperm morphology and the reduction of blood sugar levels in Sprague Dawley white rats (Rattus norvegicus) induced by alloxan. Fasting blood sugar tests showed that rats induced with alloxan without moringa leaf extract had the highest blood sugar levels among the groups. In contrast, the negative control and treatment groups with moringa leaf extract successfully maintained blood sugar levels at normal levels. Normal sperm morphology reached 94.5% in the treatment group with the highest dose of moringa leaf extract. The results of the study indicate a significant relationship between blood sugar levels and sperm morphology in alloxan-induced white rats after the administration of moringa leaf extract. Moringa oleifera has the potential to be a therapeutic intervention to improve sperm quality and control blood sugar levels in hyperglycemic conditions.AbstrakPeningkatan kadar gula darah dapat dipicu oleh peningkatan asupan atau resistensi insulin menyebabkan peningkatan stres oksidatif yang mempengaruhi kualitas sperma selama spermatogenesis.
