Abstract: Identifying nutritional quality of a potential food crop species is essential; Winged bean is a
unique leguminous crop in that most of its parts are edible and rich in protein. Hence the study carried out
the proximate analysis of studied winged bean accessions. Field experiment was carried out at the
Teaching and Research Farm, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso in 2015. Seeds of
thirty eight (38) accessions of winged bean were obtained from the International Institute of Tropical
Agriculture, Ibadan, Nigeria and were sown in three 4 m row plots spaced at 1 m × 1 m and replicated
three times. The trial was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). Data were collected
on number of germinated seeds (NGS) at 2, 3 and 4 weeks after sowing (WAS), Normalised Difference
Vegetation Index (NDVI) values was recorded at 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 WAS using the Greenseeker hand held
optical sensor unit while seeds were analyzed for Moisture, Ash, Crude protein (CP), Crude fibre (CF) and
Carbohydrate (CHO) contents using standard procedures. Data collected were subjected to analysis of
variance and means were compared using the Least Significant Difference at 5% probability level. Results
revealed that winged bean accessions influenced the NDVI values significantly at 5 and 6 WAS. Proximate
analyses of the accessions were not significantly different (P> 0.05). Proximate content value ranges are:
moisture (9.56 - 10.09 %), ash (3.73 - 5.84%), crude protein (24.48 - 24.71%), crude fibre (2.68 - 2.89%)
and carbohydrate (56.06 - 58.06 %). The highest correlation coefficient between NDVI readings and
proximate content was between NDVI at 6 WAS and seed ash content (r = 0.24; P <0.01) while NDVI at 5
WAS was negatively correlated (P>0.05) with seed carbohydrate (r = -0.04) whereas NDVI at 6 WAS was
negatively correlated with crude protein and carbohydrate content (r = -0.10, and -0.23, respectively)of
winged bean seeds. This study reveals that there is sufficient variation for various nutritional compositions
evaluated in this study. Accessions TPT 12, TPT 43, TPT 17, TPT 2A and TPT 1A can be further studied
for crude protein and crude fibre contents while TPT 48 and TPT 6-A have promising potentials for
carbohydrate contents. Hence, location studies within the studied agro-ecological zone will assist in
validating the nutrient contents of the evaluated accessions of winged bean.

1. INTRODUCTION
Winged bean is a tropical crop that is recognized as one of the under-exploited legumes (Klu,
2000). It is unique among leguminous crops in that several parts of the plant (leaves, pods, seeds and
tubers) are edible and rich in protein (Garcia and Palmer, 1980). Mahto and Dua, (2009) have
recommended it as a potential food source in the tropics. In recent times, much attention has been
drawn to the dependence of the world’s population on very few species of crops for food. This has
resulted in the over tasking of the available conventional protein and energy sources to the extent that
their supplies have been disproportionately lower, relative to the demand of the population (FAO,
2015).All food legumes are valuable sources of proteins, vitamins and minerals and occupy an
important place in human nutrition. Assessment of genetic variations and relationships among these
leguminous crops may therefore play a significant role in breeding programs to improve grain yield,
oil and protein content.
Interest in winged bean is rapidly increasing as a high protein multipurpose crop. For instance,
presently, winged bean is one of the most important vegetables in south India and Thailand. Breeding
of winged bean as a grain legume requires the development of improved genotypes with the highest
nutritional contents and lowest anti-nutritional factors. The nitrogen fixing capability of the crop has
helped secure its role as a cover crop in intercrop systems as well as enriching the soil (Anugroho et al.
2010; Banerjee, 2008). It is adaptable to a wide range of environmental conditions and presently, there
are hundreds of accessions, many of which were developed in China (Klu, 2000). What is known about
winged bean today is roughly correspondent to what was known about the soybean 60 years ago. In
Nigeria, there is no vivid record about the existence and cultivation of winged bean although there exist
theories that it is cultivated and consumed in the southern part of the country.
Winged bean seeds had been reported to contain 14% of moisture, 33% of protein, 16% of fat and
5% of crude fibre (Pospisil et al., 1978). Furthermore, the proximate analysis conducted by the
National Academy of Science (1975) reported that the crop contains 6.7-24.6% moisture, 23.8-37.4%
protein, 15-20.4% fat, 3.6-4% ash, 28-31.6% carbohydrates and crude fibre of 5-12.5%.Claydon (1975)
reported 8.7% moisture, 36.6% protein, 15.3% fat, 3.8% ash, 35.6% carbohydrates and 3.7% crude
fibre. Recently, the proximate composition of winged bean leaves was reported by (Alalade et
al.,2016), as75.29% moisture content, 24.71% dry matter, 26.29% crude protein, 4.10% ether extract,
10.04% crude fiber and 5.8% ash content. Amoo et al. (2006) however reported the proximate content
of winged bean seeds as 9.22% Moisture content, 4.91% ash content, 17.51% fat content, 12.23% crude
fibre, 33.83% crude protein and 22.30% carbohydrate. These reports however did not indicate the
accession for which these values were obtained from; also, inter accession variations have been
reported to exist among the proximate compositions of different accessions of winged bean.
New remote sensing tools that are based on irradiation are presently being used to estimate green
biomass of various crops on the field (Liebisch, 2015).The use of this technology has been reported in
rice (Jingfeng et al. 2013), yam (Kohtaro, 2018)), peanut (Zerbato et al, 2016) and pea (Klimek-Kopyra
et al. 2018) among other crops. The GreenSeeker(R)
handheld optical device (NTECH industries, 2007)
is a spectro-radiometer that is been used for phenotyping in crop screening (Lu et al. 2012).It measures
the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) which is based on specific wavelengths
measurement that can be used for instance, to calculate the vegetation indices that can be used to
estimate production potentials of agricultural crops, among numerous other applications. The
Greenseeker measures NDVI on a numerical indicator and this measurements has been described to be
highly correlated with grain yield in maize and other crops (Lu et al. 2012 and Cabrera et al., 2011).
NDVI is calculated with the estimation of reflectance recorded in the visible region and near infrared
region of the spectrum (Lu et al. 2012). It is useful in monitoring the vigour of green biomass and has
been found to be comparable to the leaf area of plant (Lu et al. 2012, 2011). Jensen (2009) reported that
by using vegetation indices, it is possible to determine agronomic parameters, such as leaf area index,
percentage of green cover, chlorophyll content and green biomass among others. Crop germplasm that
accrue abundant biomass as revealed by high NDVI values at the seedling stage of the crop are likely to
produce high yields at harvest. Hence, screening of crop accessions with NDVI values at early stage of
growth is important to reduce loss of resources. There are wide variations among the reported
proximate composition of winged bean accessions and this may be due to several factors. In addition,

there is a large number of winged bean accessions and efforts to evaluate them all may be expensive
and time consuming. Hence there is a need to explore methods of screening large number of materials
in limited time; therefore, this study evaluated the nutritional qualities of winged bean accessions and
correlated the NDVI values to nutritional composition of Winged bean.
2. MATERIALS AND METHODS
Field experiment was carried out at Teaching and Research Farm, Ladoke Akintola University of
Technology, Ogbomoso, Oyo State, Nigeria. The site (latitude 8o
7IN and longitude 4
o 14
IE) is
characterized with two seasons which include the wet season spanning March to October and the dry
season which starts in November and ends in February. The climatic condition of Ogbomoso is mostly
influenced by the northeast trade wind and the South-west wind.
Seed of thirty eight (38) winged bean accessions (Table 1) were obtained from the Genetic
Resources Centre of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan. The seeds were
scarified mechanically by cutting through the seed coat opposite the micropyle with a scalpel blade to
enhance water imbibition, break internal dormancy and hasten germination. Each accession was sown
in three 4 m row plots spaced at 1 m within and between rows and laid out in a randomized complete
block design (RCBD) and replicated three times. Three seeds were sown per hole and later thinned to
two plants per stand at 4 weeks after sowing (WAS). Staking was done when the plants reach the
twining stage for plants to access adequate sunlight. Each stand was supported with 3 m long dried
bamboo poles and the plants were trained to twine around the bamboo stake.
Number of Germinated Seeds was obtained by counting the number of seeds that germinated per
plot at 2, 3 and 4 WAS. GreenSeeker(R)
handheld optical sensor unit (NTECH industries, 2007)
installed with red sensor, red waveband centered at 650 ± 10 nm, and near infra-red (NIR) band
centered at 770 ± 15 nm, was used to measure NDVI value in each plot. The device was operated at
about 60 cm above the crop starting from the first through the third row and recorded per treatment
plot. Readings were taken in each plot at 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 WAS.
Proximate contents of the seeds of each of the 38Winged bean accessions harvested was
determined in the laboratory following the standard procedure of AOAC (2002). The analyzed
proximate components are crude protein, ash content, moisture content and crude fibre content.
Data collected were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and treatment means were
separated using the Least Significant Difference (LSD) at 5% significant level. The ANOVA was
performed with SAS 9.0 software (SAS Institute, 2011). Correlation between variables was computed
using PROC CORR in SAS (SAS Institute, 2011).
3. RESULTS
Accession of winged bean influenced (P< 0.05) seed germination and NDVI readings
significantly (Table 2) while it had no significant effect (P≥0.05) on all the proximate contents of
winged bean (Table 3). Number of germinated seeds mean at 2, 3 and 4 weeks after sowing (WAS)of
the top and bottom ten accessions are shown in Table 4. Accessions TPT 53 had the highest mean
germinated seeds (25.00) while TPT 7 had the lowest number of germinated seeds (16.00) at 2 WAS
while at 3 and 4 WAS, TPT 32had the highest germinated seeds (25.33) and the least was obtained
from TPT 7 (18.00 and 18.33 respectively).
Normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI) of the top and bottom 10 winged bean accessions
are presented in Table 5. TPT 2, 32 and 53 had the highest NDVI values (0.27) while TPT 7 and 126
had the lowest value (0.21) at 5 WAS. Across the weeks, TPT 2 maintained the lead while TPT 7 also
followed with the least NDVI value.
The mean proximate content for the top and bottom 10 winged bean accessions is presented in
Table 6. Moisture content of winged bean accessions ranged from 9.56 to 10.09% with TPT 53 having
the highest content (10.09%) and TPT 126 having the lowest (9.56%). Ash content varied between
3.73% and 5.84% with TPT 6 having the highest content. Crude protein varied between 24.48% and
24.71 % with TPT 4–A recording the highest content. Crude fibre content was between 2.68% and
2.89% with TPT 1A having the highest content. Carbohydrate content ranged from 56.06% to 58.06%
with TPT 22 having the highest mean value.

The Pearson correlation between every pair of measured NDVI values and proximate contents of
the evaluated 38 winged bean accessions is presented in Table 7. There was positive and significant
(P<0.01) correlation between every pair of all the NDVI values. Moisture content had no significant
correlation with the NDVI values (P≥0.05) across the weeks. Also, ash and carbohydrate contents had
no significant correlation with the NDVI values except at 9 WAS (r = 0.24; P<0.01 and r = -0.23;
P<0.05respectively). Crude protein was equally negatively but significant correlated with NDVI at 5, 6
and 7 WAS (r = -0.26; P<0.01, r = -0.58; P<0.001 and r = - 0.25; P<0.05, respectively). Crude fibre
was significantly but negatively correlated with NDVI at 5 and 6 WAS (r = -0.33; P<0.05 and r = -
0.49; P<0.01 respectively).
4. DISCUSSION
There exist variations in germination among the tested accessions. The occurrence of highly
significant influence of accession on Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) value indicates
that NDVI as a technique can be used to predict performance and quality of these set of accessions tried
and that there is genetic variability among them. This is in agreement with the report of Mohanty et al.
(2013) who reported that accessions exhibit variations for different traits within a population. In this
regards, it was also observed that accessions that performed well for vegetative traits showed
significant performance for Normalised difference vegetation index values at early stage of growth,
thus, NDVI values at early growth stage can be gainfully used to identify promising accessions.
However, the small range in the variation of the nutrient contents of winged bean seeds may point to a
close ancestral descent between the evaluated accessions in this study. It could also be as a result of
influence of soil microbial activities, the soil type as well as problems of adaptation because winged
bean cultivation has not been previously reported in the experimental region prior to the conduct of this
study. The aforementioned factors can significantly influence performance and nutrient contents as
reported by Jiménez et al. (2012); Hagerman et al. (1998) and Dahiya et al. (1977). Singh et al. (2013)
reported that high environmental influence and agronomic practices influenced the crude protein
content of pigeon pea to a considerable extent and this could also elucidate the variation observed in the
crude protein and other nutrients in this research. Tripathi et al. (1975) reported that the protein content
of pigeon pea of late maturing cultivars was greater than the early maturing cultivars and maturity of
the crop has an important role in accumulation of protein content during seed development.
Furthermore, the carbohydrate content of seeds of all the accessions in this study was considerably
high, which was almost double the range of 28% to 31.6% reported by NAS (1979) as well as the
22.30% reported by Amoo et al. (2006) in Nigeria. The use of remote sensing techniques can be
gainfully used to predict the nutrient contents of crops (Lu et al., 2012; Cabrera et al., 2011).
5. CONCLUSION
Winged bean is one of the leguminous crop that has promising potentials but it however remain
an underutilized crop. The state of knowledge concerning the crop still requires further research and
testing to access the crop’s future hence the need to assess it nutritional status and agronomic
performance. This study reveals that there is sufficient variation for various nutritional compositions
among the evaluated accessions and that some of the compositions are highly correlated to each other.
Accessions TPT 12, TPT 43, TPT 17, TPT 2A and TPT 1A can be further studied for crude protein and
crude fibre contents while TPT 48 and TPT 6-A have promising potentials for fat and carbohydrate
contents. In conclusion, further studies across different locations in the studied agro-ecological zone
will assist in validating the nutrient contents of the crop of the evaluated accessions of winged bean.
