Multivariate Analysis through Principal Components for Yield-Attributing Traits in Indigenous Moringa (Moringa oleifera L.) Germplasm Lines

Moringa Oleifera, Miracle Tree

Genetic diversity analysis of rice germplasm lines for yield attributing traits

Genetic divergence is an efficient tool for the selection of parents used in hybridization programme. In the present study, fifty three rice genotypes consisting of high yielding rice varieties/ cultures and IRRI germplasm lines were raised at Rice Research Station, Tirur during Sornavari, 2009 to identify diverse genotypes. They were evaluated for eight yield and yield attributing characters u...

Bioactive Components in Moringa Oleifera Leaves Protect against Chronic Disease

Moringa Oleifera (MO), a plant from the family Moringacea is a major crop in Asia and Africa. MO has been studied for its health properties, attributed to the numerous bioactive components, including vitamins, phenolic acids, flavonoids, isothiocyanates, tannins and saponins, which are present in significant amounts in various components of the plant. Moringa Oleifera leaves are the most widely...

Evaluation of Moringa Foliage (Moringa oleifera) as Goat Feed

Thirty five growing male goats (6.98±0.86 kg BW) were divided into five equal groups with seven animals in each group. The five dietary treatments were consisted of varying proportions of Moringa foliage (Moringa oleifera) and napier grass (Pennisetum purpurium); T1 (100% Moringa foliage); T2 (75% Moringa foliage+25% napier grass); T3 (50% Moringa foliage+50% napier grass); T4 (25% Moringa foli...
