“…According to the NRC (1989), the recommended daily Fe intake for adult men is 10 mg, what demonstrates the considerable contribution of P. aculeata to the diet. Almeida & Corrêa (2012) reported that 66.67 % of the population studied from Abaeté admitted using P. aculeata to treat Fe deficiency anemia because they consider it "strong", that is, rich in Fe. Around 20-30 % of the world adult population exhibit this type of anemia (Rodrigues & Jorge 2010), whose primary cause is low Fe intake.…”

“…The consumption of P. aculeata can improve the nutritional status of the population and also the income of small-scale rural farmers in different regions of Brazil (Almeida & Corrêa 2012), due to its potential to become a commercially cultivated plant (Queiroz et al 2015) Despite its significant potential, there is little technical information in terms of agronomy, and few studies have been developed with this species (Brasil 2013). Current data on its nutritional potential come from studies based on material taken from institutional gardens or private yards (Almeida Filho & Cambraia 1974, Takeiti et al 2009, Almeida & Corrêa 2012. As such, new technologies are needed to establish cultivation systems for the species, particularly in relation to plant nutrition.…”

Considering that nitrogen is directly related to leaf protein content, the nitrogen fertilization in Pereskia aculeata plants may affect the protein content and increase its nutritional potential. This study aimed at assessing the effect of nitrogen fertilization on mineral, protein and nitrate contents, as well as the yield of P. aculeata leaves. A randomized blocks design was used, with three replications and five treatments, consisting of increasing topdressing nitrogen doses (0-400 kg ha-1), in soil with organic matter content of 4.0 dag kg-1. Three harvests were performed for leaf analysis. No significant effect was observed for mineral and protein content or leaf fresh mass yield. The mean values for mineral composition were: 3.52 dag kg-1 of N, 0.47 dag kg-1 of P, 4.65 dag kg-1 of Ca, 0.71 dag kg-1 of Mg, 0.25 dag kg-1 of S, 36.64 mg kg-1 of Zn and 174.13 mg kg-1 of Fe. The mean content for protein was 21.86 % and the leaf fresh mass yield was 0.971 kg plant-1. K levels decreased from 50 kg ha-1 of N. Nitrate increased linearly with the nitrogen fertilization, reaching a maximum value of 78.2 mg kg-1 of fresh mass, well below the health risk threshold. It was concluded that a soil with high organic matter content does not require nitrogen fertilization. However, doses up to 400 kg ha-1 of nitrogen ensure adequate leaf yield and protein and mineral contents within the desired range for the species, being a food rich in proteins, iron and calcium.

Pereskia aculeata Mill., popularly known in Brazil as “Ora-pro-nobis”, is an unconventional edible vegetable. Taking into account its potential for agronomic cultivation, this study aimed to evaluate the growth response of this plant under intermittent drought through controlled reductions in the substrate matric potential, in a greenhouse. Treatments consisted of adding to the pots a volume of water to raise the matric potential to -5 kPa, according to the water retention curve in the substrate, whenever the mean substrate matric potential reached values between -10 kPa and -70 kPa, depending on the treatment. At 140 days after transplanting, leaf area and dry mass of leaves, stems and roots were determined. The intermittent reduction of the matric potential in the root zone of “Ora-pro-nobis” affected less the dry mass accumulation in leaves (reduction of 21.4%) than in stems (reduction of 48.1%) and roots (reduction of 63.7%), and that is interesting because leaves are the main commercial product of this plant. The treatment also modified the proportionality of dry mass allocation among plant parts and reduced the photosynthetic efficiency of leaves, fact evidenced by the linear increase of the specific leaf area (0.63 cm2 g-1kPa-1) and leaf area ratio (0.39 cm-2 g-1kPa-1), although not affecting directly the leaf area.
