| Experiment Background | Minor vegetable have immense potential for contribution to a particular pocket's of food production because they are well adapted to existing as well as adverse environmental conditions and are generally resistant to pests and pathogens.A vast reservoir of leafy vegetables belongs to group of underutilized vegetables, which are rich source of vitamins, minerals, fiber and diversity in the diet. Furthermore, they have been a traditional part of cropping systems, especially in home gardens. Their cultivation, utilization and acceptability should not be a problem. Minor vegetables as a whole can, therefore, make an impact on the nutritional status of population, yet among food crops, they are neglected. They are generally low in energy and dry matter content, but immensely important as source of protective nutrients, especially vitamins, mineral and phyto-chemicals. Vegetables are the most important source of vitamin A, which is deficient in most part of the world. (Dubey et al 2021). | ||
