Abstract
‘Amarela de Carandai’ Peruvian carrot (M), ‘Brasilia’ carrot (Ce) and ‘Tipo Portugues’ coriander (Co) were studied in monocrop system and intercropped with carrot and coriander. Five treatments were arranged at field in a completely randomized block design with five replications. Harvest of carrot occurred 95 days after sowing; coriander harvest occurred 112 days after sowing; and the Peruvian carrot harvest, 247 days after planting. Plant height (42.3 cm) and fresh masses of total (9.07 t ha -1 ) and commercial (6.55 t ha -1 ) roots of carrot in the MCe intercrop had significant increases of 4.4 cm, 2.34 and 1.73 t ha -1 , respectively, in relation to those plants in monocrop system. Coriander height (24.0 cm) and fresh mass of leaves (2.98 t ha -1 ) of plants from monocrop system were significantly higher than those intercropped. As for Peruvian carrot, there was significant influence on cultivation and the highest values of fresh mass, in t ha -1 , of leaves (17.84), shoots (4.07), crows (3.99) and total (14.04), commercial (10.46) and noncommercial (3.58) roots were obtained with the monocrop system. The MCe intercrop was considered effective (LER= 1.47) and the MCo was ineffective (LER = 0.76). Gross income showed that both intercroppings are not recommended for the Peruvian carrot producer since they induced losses of R$ 8,650.00 and R$ 7,011.25, respectively.

Summary
O trabalho foi desenvolvido no Horto de Plantas Medicinais, da Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul, em Dourados, Estado do Mato Grosso do Sul, entre 12 de março e 14 de novembro de 2005, em Latossolo Vermelho distroférrico, de textura argilosa, com as seguintes características químicas: 5,5 de pH em CaCl2; 34,0 g dm-3 de M.O; 36,0 mg dm-3 de P; 6,6; 56,0 e 22,6 mmolc dm-3 de K, Ca e Mg, respectivamente. A colheita da cenoura foi feita aos 95 dias após a semeadura, arrancando-se inteiras todas as plantas contidas em cada parcela, quando foram avaliadas a altura das plantas, desde o nível do solo até a inflexão da folha mais alta, e as massas frescas da parte foliar e das raízes, comerciais, sem deformações e com massa média acima de 50 g, e não-comerciais. A colheita do coentro foi feita aos 112 dias após a semeadura, cortando-se as touceiras das plantas, 2,0 cm acima do nível do solo, quando foram avaliadas a altura das plantas e a massa fresca da parte aérea. A colheita da mandioquinha-salsa foi feita aos 247 dias após o plantio, quando as plantas apresentavam mais de 50% de senescência da parte foliar, época em que foram avaliadas as produções de massas frescas de folhas, rebentos, coroas, raízes comerciais e raízes não comerciais. A validação do consórcio foi realizada pela determinação da renda bruta, por cultivo e total, utilizando os preços pagos ao produtor, sendo R$ 0,25 maço-1 de coentro com média de 145,0 g, R$ 0,80 kg-1 de raízes comerciais de cenoura e R$ 1,50 kg-1 de raízes comerciais de mandioquinha-salsa
