Effect of Bio-Stimulants Extracted from Moringa, Neem, Papaya and Bitter Leaves on the Nutritional and Bio-Active Composition of Aerial Yam (Dioscorea Bulbifera) Mini-Setts by E. C. Teke, L. A. Akonye, P. O. Eremrena

“…Therefore, the objective of this paper was to evaluate the effect of bio-stimulants extracted from Moringa (MT), Neem (NT), papaya (PT) and bitter leaves (BT) on the nutritional and bio-active composition of aerial yam (Dioscorea bulbifera) mini-setts using appropriate standard techniques. Data obtained show that some of the bioactive components in the Dioscorea bulbifera mature leaves grown with different treatments at 12 weeks were amino acids (essential): histidine 2.34- 6.26,% valine 2.63- 7.04%  isoleucine 2.76- 7.3%, (non-essential): serine 1.26-3.36%, glycine 1.82-4.87%, alanine 3.62- 9.68%, vitamins: vitamin A 8.92- 27.59ppm,  vitamin B12 0.46-1.44ppm, vitamin C  0.16-0.52ppm, minerals (macro): Phosphorus 0.37-5.92ppm, Calcium 0.31-5-09ppm, Magnesium 0.41-1.28ppm, (micro): Iron 8.47-135.02ppm/g, Zinc 5.21-83.09ppm/g, Manganese 5.65-90.01ppm/g and proximate composition; carbohydrate 56.67-85.82%, protein 6.80-21.05%, ash 2.28-7.06%, fibre 4.56-14.12%, fats 0.91-2.82% respectively. …”
