The rhizosphere is part of the soil surrounding the plant roots or being influenced by the plant roots. The exudates released from roots make it a site for complex biochemical activity. Microorganisms make up one of the dynamic parts of this rhizosphere, and affect soil and plant growth by various means.

Dietary assessment is the process of evaluating what people eat by using one or several intake indicators. It is the best approach for identifying nutrients that are likely to either be under-or over consumed by the individual or groups of interest. It also can be used to identify food patterns and preferences. Dietary assessment was done through food weighment and dietary diversity to identify the food consumption pattern, food and nutrients intake and food preferences of SHG and Non SHG households. This study was conducted on 120 SHG households and 30 Non SHG households.

Greens are among the most productive plants in terms of nutritional value per unit area, because they grow rapidly and can have several crops in a season. They contribute sufficient amounts of vitamin A and C and several minerals even after losing some of the constituents while cooking. The need for green food is being greatly emphasized owing to the increase in knowledge of value of essential minerals and vitamins. They could be used as an important source of nutrients during the pre-cropping season, before traditional crops are available for human consumption.
