Nutritional content and yield of Brazilian spinach due to elicitor and eco enzyme application at various drought levels

Abstract Increasing the nutritional content and yield of brazilian spinach at various levels of drought can be done by spraying elicitors and eco enzymes. The experiment used a randomized block design factorial split-split plot. The first factor was drought with daily, once every 3 days, and once every 5 days watering. The second factor was a biosaka elicitor with a concentration of 30 ml L −1 water spraying once a week and once every two weeks. The third factor was the concentration of eco enzyme 10 ml L −1 and 30 ml L −1 water. The best levels of antioxidant activity (IC50) and protein content of brazilian spinach leaves were found at watering once every 5 days with elicitor spraying once a week and concentration of eco enzyme 10 ml L −1 water. The highest levels of vitamin C were found in watering once every 5 days with elicitor spraying once a week and concentration of eco enzyme 30 ml L −1 Water. The highest biomass wet weight was found in daily watering with elicitor spraying once a week and concentration of eco enzyme 10 ml L −1 of water. These three treatment factors have the potential to increase the nutrition and yield of brazilian spinach.
