“…The high fiber content is essential for maintaining good digestive health, reducing blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. The fiber content of T. populnea was higher than the reported level in the halophytic plant Salicornia bigelovii (Lu et al, ) and commercial vegetable plant, spinach beet (Mielmann, Bothma, Hugo, & Hugo, ) signifying that this halophyte can be utilized in human diet as a healthier option. Moreover, the carbohydrate content in T. populnea was found to be higher in comparison to agaric mushroom S. ambigua (Bertin et al, ), signifying this halophyte as a promising source of carbohydrates.…”

“…Apart from this, lipid, protein, and ash contents were also present in considerable amount in the T. populnea leaf. The lipid content was higher than the levels reported in spinach (Mielmann et al, 2017), whereas crude protein content was at par with the leafy vegetable Carissa carandas (Sudjaroen, 2012). Additionally, the T. populnea leaf contained sufficient amount of energy 77.6 ± 4.0 kCal that could fulfill the everyday calorie requirement of an individual (Table 1).…”

“…N-deficient combined carbon sources medium (CCM, [ 41 ]), as they still require essential growth factors. This is not the case when using the plant-based culture medium because of the balanced Lucerne’s biochemical repertoire, having proteins (>3.0–5.0%), Carbohydrates (>6.0–17.0%), 7 essential and 11 non-essential amino acids (>0.05–0.56%); in addition to macro- (>0.3–6.0%) and micro- (>13.0–70.0 μg/g) nutrients [ 42 ]. This particular nutritional matrix mimics the root milieu, and exceptionally satisfies both growth requirements, not only of specific rhizobia but also of other associated rhizobacteria, especially those hard to culture, e.g.…”

“…El rendimiento de este parámetro nutricional por unidad de área se relaciona con la obtención de materia seca, de modo que en trébol rojo se ha encontrado proteínas que oscilan entre 1,6 a 2,9 ton ha -1 el primer año y desde 1,1 a 1,9 ton ha -1 al cuarto año [15], valores superiores a lo observado en este estudio a diferencia de trébol blanco cuyo contenido proteico fue mayor a 232,4 g kg -1 (Ms) con 40 días de corte [17]. Mientras que en alfalfa se estiman de 0,25 a 0,35 ton ha -1 de nitrógeno [12] que se encuentra concentrado en un 70% en las hojas [19] en general puede variar entre 22,13 y 27,7% de PC [12,20]. Por otro lado, en avena forrajera es común encontrar de 7,08 a 10,66 % PB [9], en vicia sativa 347 a 374 g kg -1 de MS [21] y cuando se realizan mezclas de pasto azul orchoro y trébol blanco entre 17,5 y 22,2% PB [14] calidad nutricional aceptable.…”

“…Por otro lado, el pasto contiene minerales esenciales para el ganado, pero sus concentraciones están influenciadas por factores climáticos, del suelo y agronómicos que conducen a situaciones difíciles para la suplementación de minerales de los animales [22], en avena forrajera es común encontrar entre 9,08 y 14,34% de contenido mineral [9] y en alfalfa valores de 0,35 a 0,41 de fosforo (% P) y de 2,43 a 1,96 en calcio (%Ca) [19].…”
