Growth, Yield, Quality, and Phytochemical Behavior of Three Cultivars of Quinoa in Response to Moringa and Azolla Extracts under Organic Farming Conditions

Abstract: Increased demand for quinoa as a functional food has resulted in more quinoa-growing areas and initiatives to increase grain production, particularly in organic agriculture. Quinoa seeds are a superfood with incredible nutritional benefits. They are abundant in secondary metabolites with significant medicinal activity. This report was consequently performed to investigate whether Azolla fliculoides (AE) or moringa leaf extract (MLE) foliar spray can be supplemented as organic extracts to enhance quinoa growth … Show more

“…MLE is rich in antioxidants, protein, minerals and beta-carotene, which are normally deficient among the food of under-developed countries [41]. Moreover, MLE is an excellent source of zeatin (phytohormone) which helps to stimulate crop growth, development and grain yield, not only under normal conditions but even under harsh weather conditions [42,43]. External use of MLE was also found very effective in improving the growth and biochemical attributes of rocket plants [44], wheat [13] and quinoa crop [38].…”

“…Azolla filiculoides Lam. plant extract has been shown to boost the growth, yield, and chemical composition of a variety of crops, including the vegetative growth and biomass of olive seedlings [ 26 ], squash fruit numbers, which were 19.49% and 4.33% per plant and fruit weight, respectively [ 28 ], eggplant yield, which was 26.91% [ 27 ], and quinoa grain yield, which was 29% [ 13 ]. Increases in Azolla filiculoides Lam.…”

“…This could increase jojoba genotypes’ plant growth and development by increasing endogenous phytohormone levels and nutrient uptake. Azolla phytohormones known as cytokinins induce cell division and change apical dominance [ 13 ]. As a result of the Azolla supplementation, we saw an improvement in the development and yield attributes of all of the jojoba genotypes examined.…”
