“…The biomass produced by all the evaluated leguminous species was greater than 2 t ha -1 , being sufficient to fulfill the function of a cover crop by providing organic material to the soil (Castillo-Caamal et al 2010). The leaf biomass produced by centrosema in sacha inchi crops was statistically higher (8.6 t ha -1 ), if compared to the other treatments; however, bean produced the lowest leaf biomass (3.1 t ha -1 ) (Table 2).…”

“…The use of cover crops, in rotation or associated with crops of economic interest, is an important strategy to improve the soil and environment quality, soil fertility, organic matter accumulation, nitrates leaching mitigation, soil erosion processes reduction and weeds control, as well as the soil biological and physicochemical properties (Arévalo et al 1998, Bayer et al 2003, Castillo-Caamal et al 2010. These benefits will only be efficiently achieved if the selected cover crop species are adapted to the local environmental conditions and are appropriate for the defined agro-ecological target (Bodner et al 2010).…”

Sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis) is an oilseed crop that has gained importance due to the high contents of proteins and unsaturated fatty acids in its seeds. This study aimed at evaluating the growth characteristics of five leguminous species (Crotalaria juncea,Centrosema macrocarpum,Arachis pintoi,Cannavalia ensiformis and Phaseolus vulgaris) used as cover crops, as well as determining their influence on the sacha inchi yield. A complete randomized block design, with three blocks, was used. C. macrocarpum and C. ensiformis were the most appropriate cover crop species for the local edaphoclimatic conditions because they reached 100 % of soil coverage at six months, in addition to controlling the weeds growth and protecting the soil from erosion. Furthermore, the total leaf biomass at six months was significantly higher in C. macrocarpum, what allowed improving the soil fertility through nitrogen cycling. The use of leguminous cover crops, mainly C. macrocarpum, positively influenced the sacha inchi yield.

“…In a three-year evaluation in Yucatan of maize intercropped with mucuna or ib, there was no yield increase over that of monoculture maize (Castillo-Caamal et al, 2010). Castillo-Caamal and Caamal-Maldonado (2011) found that interspersing maize with mucuna at planting or 20 days after planting lowered maize yields, compared to monoculture or interspersing 40 or 60 days after planting.…”

Review of agronomic research on the milpa, the traditional polyculture system of Mesoamerica

et al. 2023

The milpa system is the basis of traditional agriculture in Mesoamerica. It is based on a polyculture of maize (Zea mays L.), bean (Phaseolus spp.) and squash (Cucurbita spp.) and is associated with a great diversity of crops and wild species. The milpa has great cultural and historical importance but can also be highly productive and provide sufficient and healthy diets for smallholder farmers. The milpa system is practiced less and less however, mainly due to socioeconomic changes, but also due to a lack of agronomic knowledge adapted to current conditions. To provide a starting point for new agronomic research, we reviewed the scientific literature to identify the current knowledge on milpa agronomy and determine research priorities to further improve the system. Given the wide diversity of conditions under which milpa is practiced, agronomic research is lacking, but indicates that improvements to the milpa can be made in all aspects of the milpa. 176 research articles on the milpa system were found in databases, of which 61 treated agronomic research. The main agronomic topics described in literature are crop variety, soil fertility management, weed management and productivity. Most research has focused only on maize and studies reporting on the associated crops are scarce. More research on all aspects of the milpa is needed to understand and improve the agronomy of the system under the changing conditions of modern agriculture. Reducing the workload associated with the milpa, as well as soil fertility and weed management can be identified as research priorities.

Human societies demand sustainable alternatives for goods and services. Plants are sustainable sources of important metabolites with beneficial impacts on human health. There are many reported methodologies and commercial suppliers for extract preparations from the plant Mucuna sp. They usually claim to be enriched in L-dopa, their distinctive metabolite. However, there are poor characterizations of the metabolite's components in that extracts. Here, we present the metabolite characterization of a Mucuna seed extract, emphasizing the L-dopa identification and quantification. To obtain the extracts, we follow a green and sustainable extraction protocol. The lyophilized extract was subject to liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry to identify its primary metabolites. Additionally, we follow thin-layer chromatography to identify some carbohydrates in the sample. The resultant extract has a 56% L-dopa. Other main components in the extract were arginine, stizolamine, and the fructooligosaccharides sucrose and nystose. The characterized Mucuna extract can be easily standardized as powder presentation and used in several biomedical applications.
