“…bigelovii meal. Third, soaking the seeds in 1% NaOH before meal extraction deactivated the anti-growth factor or factors, similar to the finding of saponin detoxification by NaOH treatment in Kochia seeds (14). The unamended meal may be suitable for swine or ruminants that are less sensitive to saponins than poultry (15).…”

“…bigelovii meal replaced soybean meal at 14% of the diet (plus 4% soybean meal to balance protein and essential amino acid requirements). Salicornia bigelovii meal was tested unamended, supplemented with 1% cholesterol to counteract saponins, or extracted from seeds washed in NaOH to deactivate saponins (14) suspected to be in the meal. Each experiment contained six replications with eight birds for each diet tested.…”

The terrestrial halophyte, Salicornia bigelovii Torr., was evaluated as an oilseed crop for direct seawater irrigation during 6 years of field trials in an extreme coastal desert environment. Yields of seed and biomass equated or exceeded freshwater oilseed crops such as soybean and sunflower. The seed contained 26 to 33 percent oil, 31 percent protein, and was low in fiber and ash (5 to 7 percent). The oil and meal were extracted by normal milling equipment, and the oil was high in linoleic acid (73 to 75 percent) and could replace soybean oil in chicken diets. The meal had antigrowth factors, attributed to saponins, but could replace soybean meal in chicken diets amended with the saponin antagonist, cholesterol. Salicornia bigelovii appears to be a potentially valuable new oilseed crop for subtropical coastal deserts.

“…Coxworth and Salmon (1972) fed turkey poults rations containing 15 or 30% kochia seed (25Á33% crude protein), with the saponins present in the seed either removed by washing with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or inactivated by mixing the whole seed with phytosterols. The control treatments, unwashed kochia seed or seed without added phytosterols, resulted in 40 and 93% mortality for the 15 and 30% rations, respectively.…”

Kochia [Kochia scoparia (L.) Schrad.] is an annual broadleaf weed species native to Eurasia and introduced as an ornamental to the Americas by immigrants in the mid- to late 1800s. Although sometimes categorized in the genus Bassia, there is no compelling reason for this classification. This naturalized species is a common and economically important weed in crop production systems and ruderal areas in semiarid to arid regions of North America, and has expanded northward in the Canadian Prairies during the past 30 yr. Although primarily self-pollinated, substantial pollen-mediated gene flow and efficient seed dispersal aids both short- and long-distance spread. The weed is morphologically highly variable, and its growth and development are markedly affected by environmental conditions. Kochia, a C4 species, is highly competitive in cropping systems because of its ability to germinate at low soil temperatures and emerge early, grow rapidly, tolerate heat, drought and salinity, and exert allelopathic effects on neighboring species. Moreover, herbicidal control has been compromised to some extent by the widespread evolution of herbicide resistance in the species. Kochia is used as a forage, is palatable to livestock with nutritional value similar to that of alfalfa (Medicago sativa), but can be toxic if it comprises the majority of the diet. Although kochia pollen is an allergen, the seed is a source of phytochemicals including mosquito pheromones and saponins that are potentially beneficial to human health; kochia also is beneficial in phytoremediation of soils contaminated by hydrocarbons or pesticides. Key words: Kochia, Kochia scoparia, Bassia scoparia, herbicide resistance, soil salinity tolerance, weed biology
