“…Based on table 1, provenance had no significant effect on the life percentage of kelor seedling, either at 1 MAS or 3 MAS. This condition is different from the result of research by Ezekiel et al [12], which showed significant survival differences in 14 different provenances.…”

Kelor (Moringa oleifera) is a superfood that serves potential benefits as a highly nutritious food. The research on kelor in Riau, Indonesia, is still very rare. This study aimed to determine the effect of a combination between provenances and doses of NPK-fertilizer on the growth of kelor seedlings in the nursery. The study was conducted from March to June 2020 in Kuok, Kampar regency, Riau. It was a factorial trial arranged in a split-plot design with three replications. Two provenances from Riau and NTT were arranged as the main plot. Four level doses of NPK-fertilizer, 5 g, 7 g, 9 g, and 0 g, were arranged as the subplot. Seedling height, diameter, survival, number of leaves, and leaf colour were observed. The interaction between P2 and F2 had the best effect on diameter at 3 MAS, while P2 and F4 had the best effect on survival at 1 MAS. The dose of 5 g NPK tended to have a better effect on the height, the number of leaves, survival, and leaf colour at 1 MAS. To stimulate the diameter growth, additional doses of NPK can be given after the kelor seedling reaches a minimum age of 3 MAS.

“…The tree is of a wide, open, and classically umbrella-shaped crown and often just a single stem, usually taking roots deep down. 12 The leaves of moringa have alternate phyllotaxy, with each large leaf being about 90 cm long and being spacing almost 5 cm apart on the mid stalk. Leaflets are coloured dark green when viewed from above and pale green when viewed from beneath.…”

Moringa oleifera is an important medicinal plant in several countries, e.g. Nigeria, USA, Turkey, Germany, Greece, and Ukraine. The abundant bioactive and nutritional properties of this plant make it useful in many and diverse areas of life including the health, cosmetic, agricultural and food industries to mention but a few. Research has found out that the presence of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins, minerals, flavonoids, phenols, alkaloids, fatty acids, saponins, essential oils, folate, aromatic hydrocarbons, sterols, glucosinolates, glycosides among others characterise the Moringa‐ nutrient profile and as a result, give rise to its remedial effects on ailments such like wounds, stomach and duodenal ulcers, allergies, obesity, diabetics, inflammation, asthma, etcetera. It is the aim of this review to provide an insight into such medicinal and pharmacological remedies attributed to Moringa stating both the past and recent discoveries. This review article also takes a look into the botanical features, bioactive compounds, antinutrients, food applications, bacterial fermentation products, biosafety, industrial applications and other uses of Moringa. Finally, with belief that knowledge is progressive, we acknowledge that there are things yet undiscovered about this wonder plant that will be of value both to medicine and general life, we therefore recommend that research work continue on the plant Moringa.This article is protected by copyright.

Sweet Success? Interrogating Nutritionism in Biofortified Sweet Potato Promotion in Mwasonga, Tanzania

This thesis is an ethnographic study of the promotion of biofortification, and specifically biofortified sweet potato (OFSP) as a solution to malnutrition in the Mwanza region of Tanzania, a major sweet potato producing area in the country. Through a feminist lens, I examine sweet potato, commonly considered a 'women's crop' in Tanzania, and the campaign to promote its use as entry-points to analyze the intersection between women's dynamic engagement in food-related labour and the gendered, economic and social conditions in which women sweet potato farmers' livelihoods are situated. Funded by private foundations and international agricultural research centres, biofortified sweet potato campaigns targeted thousands of women farmers in several Sub-Saharan African countries to address malnutrition by increasing the nutrient content of staple, subsistence crops such as sweet potato. My findings show that OFSP promotion reinforced existing normative gendered food production roles as well as scientific, technical interpretations of nutrition, while disregarding how socioeconomic and environmental conditions mediate every day and seasonal dietary practices. A close examination of the research activities and marketing of biofortified sweet potato reveal the inherent gendered and social inequalities embedded in current strategies to address nutrition in agricultural development programs in Tanzania. My research suggests that women's associated labour and varying perceptions of nutrition were under-acknowledged in such campaigns. Analysis of discursive and material networks embedded in OFSP campaigns revealed both the intended and unintended long-term and seasonal, social, economic, health and environmental implications of these campaigns and their oversights on sweet potato producers in Mwasongwe village since 2006. As a result, OFSP benefits to the female sweet potato producers in my study remained short-term, uncertain, and dependent on external financing and international partnerships, and on individual farmers' access to economic, social and environmental assets.
