- Abstract
Proximate and nutritional eoneentrations of some vegetables irrigated with different types of water were determined in present study. Allium fistulosum showed highest eoneentrations of N and P at site3 and site1, respeetively. Highest ash eoneentration in Trigonellafoenum-graecum demonstrated high mineral eoneentration of this vegetable. The erude protein eontents ranged from 15.38% to 26.19% and erude fiber eontents ranged from 12.81% to 16.73% in all vegetables. The tannins and saponins eontents showed signifieant (P<0.05) result among all vegetables at all sites. Proximate and nutrient analysis of eultivated vegetables ean help us to determine the health benefits aehieved from their use in marginal eommunities.
