“…Under salt stress, the lowest doses of both soil and foliar application of fluvic substances increased the nutrient uptake of wheat (Asik et al, 2009). Different part of Moringa oleifera plants have been reported to be a rich source of important minerals as Ca, Mg, K, P, S, Cu, Zn, Mn and Fe which can be valorized for a balanced nutrition of population (Yameogo et al, 2011 andMoyo et al, 2011).…”

POT experiment was conducted under the greenhouse ……..conditions at the Farm of the Faculty of Agriculture, Zagazig University to try reclamation and cultivation of saline-sodic soils. Soil samples were collected from Sahl El-Tin, Sinai Governorate, Egypt. Plastic pots were filled with soil. Soil was treated with compost or gypsum as soil amendments before filling. The gypsum and compost addition rate were 10.32 and 20 Mg ha -1 , respectively. The soils were leached with water having EC 1.2 dSm -1 using intermittent method. Reclamation requirements (RR) were calculated based on pore volume (PV). Soil was leached with amount of water equivalent 1.5 PV (1.5 PV was equal 4.85 liter of water). Leaching water amount was divided into 10 equal quantities each one equal 0.49 liter. Following termination of leaching, samples were taken from soils were amended with gypsum and compost and analyzed. After reclamation process, the same pots were planted with wheat (Triticum aestivum cv. Sakha 93) to study the effect of fulvic acid "FA" as application soil and foliar sprays with Moringa leaf extract "MLE" and Marine algae extract "MAE" as Ascophyllum nodosum (Phaeophyceae) on photosynthetic pigments, yield and nutrient uptake of wheat (Triticum aestivum cv., Sakha 93) under newly reclaimed soils with gypsum and compost. The results of the study indicated that gypsum and compost showed a pronounced decreased in bulk density, EC, pH, SAR and ESP compared with the initial soil with superiority of gypsum on compost in reducing EC, SAR and ESP. The highest values of plant height, leaf area, chlorophyll a, b and caroteniods, yield, straw and grain NPKuptake,1000 grain weight and protein content were obtained with FA combined with moringa extract spray. However, non-treated plants showed the lowest one. Spraying with moringa leaf extract gave a significant increase in growth yield parameters; yield, photosynthetic pigments, NPK-uptake,1000 grain weight and protein content compared to foliar spray with marine algae extract in the two soils. Soils reclaimed with compost gave higher values of yield, straw and grains NPK-uptake and protein content than the values under application of gypsum under different treatments.

“…Yameogo et al (16) reported that, on a dry matter basis, Moringa oleifera leaves contained 27.2% protein, 5.9% moisture, 17.1% fat, and 38.6% carbohydrates. Anwar and Rashid (17) noticed that on a dry matter basis, Moringa oleifera seeds contained 34.80% ether extract, 31.65% protein, 7.54% fiber, 8.90% moisture, and 6.53% ash contents.…”

“…Les légumineuses et les légumes sont d'importantes sources de protéines, de minéraux et de vitamines (Ojokohet Bello, 2014). Les feuilles de Moringa oleifera ont des teneurs en matière sèche de 27,1 g/100g de protéines et 28,3 mg/100 g de fer (Yaméogo et al, 2011). Sur le plan organoleptique, l'ajout des légumineuses améliore les caractéristiques organoleptiques des plats céréaliers (Houssou, 2016).…”
