Soil is an essential resource, and its degradation challenging modern agriculture, while impact expected to increase in the near future. One of strategies address this issue incorporate new alternative crops able tolerate arduous conditions, as well for use sustainable agricultural practices order recover and/or improve soil health. Additionally, increasing market functional/healthy natural foods promotes search potential crop species with promising bioactive compounds content. For purpose, wild edible plants are a key option because they have already been consumed hundreds years traditional gastronomy there well-established evidence their health-promoting effects. Moreover, since not cultivated species, grow under conditions without human intervention. Among them, common purslane interesting good candidate integration commercial farming systems. With worldwide spread, it drought, salinity heat stress used dishes, highly appreciated high nutritional value due compound content, especially omega-3 fatty acids. In review, we aim present breeding cultivation purslane, effects abiotic stressors on yield chemical composition parts.

Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium Requirements to Improve Portulaca oleracea L. Growth, Nutrient and Water Use Efficiency in Hydroponics

Agronomy, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(1), P. 111 - 111

Published: Jan. 4, 2025

Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) is an herbaceous species that traditionally consumed across the world due to its nutraceutical quality, boasting anticancer, anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic properties. These traits render purslane attractive wild edible for research commercial exploitation. The current study examined effect of different nitrogen (N) concentrations (100–200 mg L−1; as N100, N200) in combination with levels (decreased 0.66-fold: dec, recommended 1-fold: rec, or increased 1.5-fold: inc) phosphorus (P; 47–70–105 L−1) potassium (K; 250–350–525 nutrient solution (NS) used hydroponic film technique (NFT) cultivation. N200_PKinc NS resulted improved crop growth compared N200_PKrec NS, suggesting a positive correlation between optimal N (i.e., 200 P K (105 525 L−1, respectively). Plants grown revealed decreased antioxidant activity (e.g., DPPH, FRAP, ABTS), phenols flavonoids, while simultaneously total soluble solids levels. mirrored low lipid peroxidation, mainly increase catalase enzymatic activity. Higher use efficiency was observed when both N100_PKinc were applied, resulting higher yield enhanced plant growth, produced plants findings suggest (N200_PKinc N100_PKinc) have potential benefits cultivation purslane, latter offering additional advantages terms produce quality.

Mullu Kuruman tribes majorly reside in the Wayanad district of Kerala, India. Their dietary practices and food systems are deeply intertwined with wild underutilised plants, but modern interventions globalisation have altered them. Therefore, understanding their traditional ecological knowledge regarding plants used for medicine is important biodiversity conservation sustainability resources. This study, therefore, explores diversity plant use among 125 respondents from tribe. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews field visits Malayalam during household walks gardens forests. study documents 111 species across 85 genera 42 botanical families. Most these were (66.66%), while 26.13% medicinal purposes. Bambusa bambos recorded highest Use Report (281), Cultural Index (2.248), Relative Importance (1), Value (1.327). shows rich by Kurumans, which security resilience. The agroecological climate-resilient crops such as Eleusine coracana, Panicum sumatrense, Sorghum bicolor suitable dryland agriculture. Leafy vegetables Alternanthera sessilis, Basella rubra, fruits Artocarpus incisus, Canavalia brasiliensis Ziziphus oenopolia minerals vitamins can enhance health well-being. Using carbohydrate-rich Dioscorea spp., Amorphophallus paeonifoliius, Colacasia esculenta contributes to security. These insights crucial sustainable conservation. Similar studies other parts offer new into local tribal communities deal climate change challenges.
