Description
Summary:Carrots ( Daucus carota L. ) are one of the most consumed and economically significant vegetables worldwide, prized for their nutritional value and versatile culinary applications. The biochemical composition of carrot roots, including their phytochemical content, sugars, vitamins, and minerals, plays a crucial role in determining their quality and nutritional benefits. Fertilizers are commonly utilized in carrot cultivation to enhance yield and optimize growth parameters. However, the application of fertilizers can significantly influence the biochemical composition of carrot roots, thereby impacting their nutritional quality and health-promoting properties. This review comprehensively examines the current body of literature on the influence of fertilizers on the biochemical parameters of carrot roots, including changes in phytochemical content, sugars, vitamins, and minerals. Furthermore, it discusses the underlying mechanisms driving these effects and explores potential implications for carrot cultivation practices and consumer health.
