The aim concerning this book chapter is to climax salient reward production and handling practices to supply some relevant news to farmers, land-service providers and other players along the carrot profit chain. The chapter is an profit of research that examined the contribution and bettering of cowpea-based Biological Nitrogen Fixation (BNF) in carrot result in the Ashanti Mampong Municipality in the Ashanti Region of Ghana to propel reward production to sustainable levels. Carrot result is a widespread financial activity within the Municipality that supplies vegetables particularly carrot to additional urban centres such as Kumasi inside the Ashanti Region of Ghana. Carrot is a valued exotic salad in Ghana, mostly secondhand in combination with different vegetables in preparing soups, stews, salads and drinks. Demand for carrots thus, remains extreme especially in urban centres. A bigger constraint to carrot result is poor soil potency. Carrot farmers generally knowledge high production costs on account of inorganic manure application. The use of legumes such as cowpea for nitrogen obsession leading to soil fertility augmentation provides a practicable alternative for sustainable crop production. It is imagined that this book chapter will serve as a valuable citation material for actors near the carrot value chain in Ghana and different parts of the world.
