CLYDE WILSON*, SCOTT M. LESCH and CATHERINE M. GRIEVE United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, United States Salinity Laboratory, 450 West Big Springs Road, Riverside, CA 92507, USA Received: 4 August 1999 Returned for revision: 29 September 1999 Accepted: 8 December 1999 The response of two speciality vegetable crops, New Zealand spinach (Tetragonia tetragonioides Pall.) and red orach (Atriplex hortensis L.), to salt application at three growth stages was investigated. Plants were grown with a base nutrient solution in outdoor sand cultures and salinized at 13 (early), 26 (mid), and 42 (late) d after planting (DAP). For the treatment salt concentrations, we used a salinity composition that would occur in a typical soil in the San Joaquin Valley of California using drainage waters for irrigation. Salinity treatments measuring electrical 1 conductivities (ECi) of 3, 7, 11, 15, 19 and 23 dS m were achieved by adding MgSO4 ,Na2SO4 , NaCl and CaCl2 to the base nutrient solution. These salts were added to the base nutrient solution incrementally over a 5-d period to avoid osmotic shock to the seedlings. The base nutrient solution without added salts served as the non-saline control (3 dS m1). Solution pH was uncontrolled and ranged from 7.7to8.0. Both species were salt sensitive at the early seedling stage and became more salt tolerant as time to salinization increased.

Germplasm with elevated folates are a useful genetic source for both breeding and direct use. Spinach is one of the well-know vegetables that contains a relatively high amount of folate. Currently, little is known about how much folate, and their composition varies in different spinach accessions. The aim of this study was to investigate natural variation in the folate content and composition of spinach genotypes grown under controlled environmental conditions. The folate content and composition in 67 spinach accessions were collected from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Asian Vegetable Research and Development Center (AVRDC) germplasm collections according to their origin, grown under control conditions to screen for natural diversity. Folates were extracted by a monoenzyme treatment and analyzed by a validated liquid chromatography (LC) method.

  • The Contribution of Dark-Green Leafy Vegetables to Total Micro- Nutrient Intake of Two- to Five-Year-Old Children in a Rural
    The contribution of dark-green leafy vegetables to total micro- nutrient intake of two- to five-year-old children in a rural setting# Mieke Faber1*, Paul J van Jaarsveld1 and Ria Laubscher2 1Nutritional Intervention Research Unit, Medical Research Council, PO Box 19070, Tygerberg 7505, South Africa 2Biostatistics Unit, Medical Research Council, PO Box 19070, Tygerberg 7505, South Africa Abstract This study determined the contribution of dark-green leafy vegetables (DGLV) to total micronutrient intake of two- to five- year-old children residing in two neighbouring rural villages in KwaZulu-Natal where production and consumption of these vegetables were promoted. A repeated cross-sectional study that included five repeated 24 h dietary recalls per study period was done during February (n=79), May (n=74), August (n=75) and November (n=78) of 2005 by interviewing the caregivers. Consumption of spinach (mostly Swiss chard) and imifinoa ( collective term for various dark-green leaves) complemented each other, with imifino being consumed mostly during the first and last quarter of the year, and spinach (mostly Swiss chard) during the 3rd quarter. The proportion of children who consumed DGLV during the 5 d recall period ranged from 36% (May survey) to 86% (February survey), and the average number of times that children consumed it ranged from 1.4 (May survey) to 2.2 (February survey). The average portion size consumed was approximately ½ cup (87 ± 56 g for spinach; 87 ± 38 g for imifino). For children consuming DGLV, these vegetables contributed significantly to dietary intake of calcium (21 to 39% of total intake), iron (19 to 39%), vitamin A (42 to 68%) and riboflavin (9 to 22%).

  • Recipe of the Week: Sweet Potato & Spinach Hash with Fried Eggs
    March 8, 2021 FFRx Program Coordinator, Sheena McNeill: 336-705-1858 Recipe of the Week: Sweet Potato & Spinach Hash with Fried Eggs Ingredients: 3 sweet potatoes 3 tablespoons oil 3 cloves garlic, chopped (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder) 1 onion, diced 1 red bell pepper, diced (optional) Salt & pepper, to taste 4 cups spinach 1 tablespoon butter 4 eggs Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 2. Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, pierce with a fork, and roast until tender – but not done (about 30 minutes). Take out of the oven and let cool. Cut into cubes, set aside. 3. In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and peppers and cook until soft. Add the diced sweet potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Keep cooking, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are cooked through. 4. Turn heat to low and stir in the spinach. 5. In another large skillet (or set sweet potatoes and spinach on a plate to clear the other skillet), melt butter and fry the eggs over medium-high heat until whites are set. 6. Serve fried egg on top of hash. Enjoy! Adapted from foodnetwork.com All About Sweet Potatoes Did you know? The rich orange color of sweet potatoes gives anti-inflammatory benefits and may play a role with preventing different diseases. Sweet potatoes are a type of starchy vegetable, which can cause an increase blood sugar – but they do not seem to increase blood sugar as much as regular white potatoes. It’s best to eat them as part of a meal with some protein included.

  • Tetragonia Tetragonioides) in New Zealand
    The commercialisation of kōkihi or New Zealand spinach (Tetragonia tetragonioides) in New Zealand N. Roskruge Institute of Natural Resources PN433, Massey University, Private Bag 11-222, Palmerston North 4442, New Zealand Abstract Kōkihi (Tetragonia tetragonioides) is the traditional name applied to the succulent green plant commonly called New Zealand spinach. It is a wild plant which grows in localised pockets along the coasts of both the North and South Islands of New Zealand, Stewart Island and Kermadec Island but it is seldom found naturally in inland areas. Commercially kōkihi is not a widely cultivated crop in New Zealand, however it is relatively common in non-commercial gardens and seed is available in garden centres. Scoping research was undertaken looking at a selection of agronomic factors which apply to this crop in a commercial production system. Kōkihi is susceptible to a minor range of pests and diseases including the fungal diseases Uredo novae-zealandiae (rust) and Helminthosporium sp. (commonly known as silver scurf on potatoes). The relationship of these diseases to other crops will influence the inclusion of NZ spinach in any crop rotation. Management of the plant is otherwise relatively simple and may be well suited to commercial opportunities. Additional keywords: leafy vegetable Introduction Tetragonia tetragonioides has been given New Zealand is the southernmost the dubious recognition as possibly the only landmass of the Pacific Ocean and of the ‗true‘ vegetable Australasia has provided to Pacific cultures. As such it endures a the world cuisine.

  • Biology of Spinach Downy Mildew
    I. Abstract Project Title: Race diversity and the biology of the spinach downy mildew pathogen Project Investigators: Jim Correll Steven Koike Department of Plant Pathology University of California Cooperative Extension University of Arkansas 1432 Abbott Street Fayetteville, AR 72701 Salinas, CA 93901 Summary: Downy mildew of spinach continues to be a major production constraint for California. As of March 2012, there are 13 named races of the downy mildew pathogen with isolate UA510C designated as race 13 in 2011. Another deviating strain, UA4410, has appeared in several locations and in multiple years and likely will be designated race 14 in the upcoming year. Downy mildew has been prevalent in many growing areas of California with races 12, 13, and UA4410 being the most common. Also, there have been a number of isolates recovered in 2011 which were a mixture of two or more distinct races. Although it is laborious to sort out race mixtures, we have been able to identify potential mixtures by the initial atypical reactions on the standard set of spinach differentials, followed by inoculum increases on two or more hybrids that have different resistance backgrounds, and subsequent inoculations with the separated isolates. In all cases examined, the initial atypical isolate reactions could be explained by the presence of mixtures of two known races. Several additional atypical isolates have been identified and are currently being examined for their ability to overcome the known resistances. Additional efforts have also looked at the host specificity of the spinach downy mildew pathogen and other closely related downy mildews to determine if the other hosts could serve as a source of primary inoculum to initiate disease on spinach.
