“…According to their mineral makeup, carrot roots include significant levels of potassium, calcium, sodium, magnesium, and iron. The minerals (K, Ca, Na, and Mg) found in carrot roots in this experiment were similar to those reported by [16,34]. Sodium and potassium are important intracellular and extracellular cations respectively.…”

Carrot cultivation in south-eastern Nigeria could reduce the need to transport carrots from northern regions. To explore this, a field experiment with three replications was carried out in Nsukka, south-eastern Nigeria, focusing on four carrot varieties (Carotte Touchon, Touchon Mega, Super Mega, and Touchon France) and three poultry manure rates (0, 10, and 20 t ha−1). The study revealed that Carotte Touchon had the highest root production (11.6 t ha−1) with 20 t ha−1 of manure, followed by 7.5 t ha−1 at 10 t ha−1, while Touchon Mega had the lowest root yield (1.4 t ha−1) in the control group. Proximate quality of carrots was mostly unaffected by the varieties, except for fat content. The study found significant variations in vitamins A, C, and E, phytochemicals (phytate, tannins, and oxalate), and minerals (Fe, Mg, Na, and K) among the varieties, although no impact on Zn and Ca was observed. This research suggests that carrots have substantial growth potential in south-eastern Nigeria, offering a solution to vitamin and mineral deficiencies prevalent in this area. Additionally, Carotte Touchon with either 20 t ha−1 or 10 t ha−1 of poultry manure is recommended for optimal carrot cultivation in this region.

“…In our earlier investigations at different sites in Lithuania, density of sugar beet crop is the main factor that caused changes in sugar beet chemical content [31]. However, Majkowska-Gadomska et al [27] found that intercropping of carrot with dill increased the quality of root-crop tested during the storage period.…”

“…They concluded that cultivation of sugar beet with barley living mulch can be an effective in providing ecosystem service without leading to a decrease in sucrose yield if it is terminated by applying glyphosate no later than by the V2 growth stage. In the experiment of Majkowska-Gadomska et al [27], intercropping of carrot with dill also increased the quality of the root-crop, which was tested during the storage period. It may be concluded that the performance of living mulch depends on a range of factors, such as the crop, climate, time of sowing, range of development, nutrient consumption and others.…”

The Impact of Intercropping on Soil Fertility and Sugar Beet Productivity

et al. 2020

There is a lack of research on the practice of intercropping sugar beet and the impact of such agrocenoses on soil and crop fertility, especially under organic farming conditions. For this reason, a three-year stationary field experiment was performed at Vytautas Magnus University, Agriculture Academy, Lithuania. Sugar beet was grown continuously with intercropped Persian clover (Trifolium resupinatum L., MC), white mustard (Sinapis alba L., MM) and spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L., MB) as a living mulch. Inter-row loosening (CT) and mulching with ambient weeds (MW) were used as comparative treatments. The results showed that, under minimal fertilization, CT and intercropping increased the average content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the soil. However, the average content of magnesium was reduced in single cases (MW, MB), and the average content of sulphur was reduced in all cases. Intercropping significantly decreased the yields of sugar beet root-crop, but was mainly neutral in quality terms. The meteorological conditions during experimentation had a weak impact on root-crop quantity and quality. Generally, the practice of sugar beet intercropping requires more detailed research on how to minimize the competition between the sugar beet, living mulch and weeds, and how to balance the nutrition conditions.

“…Among the 6 included studies on Other Crops whose primary focus was Intercropping, 1 study (pearl millet) reported an increase in Fe and Zn concentration ( 108 ); 1 study (cabbage) reported no significant changes in Fe concentration ( 114 ). For Ca and Mg, 1 study (carrot) reported an increase in concentration ( 115 ); 1 study (oat) reported a decrease in concentration ( 116 ) and 1 study (cabbage) reported no significant changes in concentration ( 114 ). For vitamin C, one study (lettuce) reported significant increases and decreases in concentration within the Intercropping study ( 81 ).…”

Do agronomic approaches aligned to regenerative agriculture improve the micronutrient concentrations of edible portions of crops? A scoping review of evidence

et al. 2023

Regenerative Agriculture (RA) is used to describe nature-based agronomic approaches that aim to build soil health and crop resilience, minimize negative environmental outcomes, and improve farmer livelihoods. A benefit that is increasingly attributed to crops grown under RA practices is improved nutritional content. However, we do not know the extent to which RA influences crop nutritional quality and under what management approaches and context, can such effects be realized. A scoping review of recent literature (Web of Science, 2000–2021) was carried out to assess the evidence that RA approaches improve crop micronutrient quality. Papers included combinations of agronomic approaches that could be defined as Regenerative: “Organic Inputs” including composts and manures, cover crops, crop rotations, crop residues and biochars; “Reduced Tillage”, “Intercropping”, “Biostimulants” e.g. arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi; plant growth promoting bacteria, and “Irrigation”, typically deficit-irrigation and alternate wetting and drying. The crop types reviewed were predetermined covering common sources of food and included: Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), Rice (Oryza sativa L.), Maize (Zea mays L.), Pulses (Fabaceae), Alliums (Allium spp.), and “other” crop types (30 types). This scoping review supports a potential role for RA approaches in increasing the concentrations of micronutrients in the edible portions of several crop types under specific practices, although this was context specific. For example, rice grown under increased organic inputs showed significant increases in grain zinc (Zn) concentration in 15 out of 16 studies. The vitamin C concentration of tomato fruit increased in ~50% of studies when plants were grown under increased organic inputs, and in 76% of studies when plants were grown under deficit irrigation. Overall, the magnitude and reproducibility of the effects of RA practices on most crop nutritional profiles were difficult to assess due to the diversity of RA approaches, geographical conditions, and the limited number of studies for most crops in each of these categories. Future research with appropriate designs, improved on-farm surveillance and nutritional diagnostics are needed for better understanding the potential role of RA in improving the quality of food, human nutrition, and health.
