This study evaluated the effects of three irrigation treatments (control (rain-fed plants), deficit (DI: 50% maximum field capacity), full (FI: 100% capacity)), and two crop-management (with or without crop rotation with bean, CR, NCR, respectively) on plant growth chemical composition C. spinosum. The results indicated that combined increased weight leaves per plant, followed by rain-fed plants for same treatment. Additionally, these factors significantly influenced nutritional profile, free sugars, organic acid content in a variable manner. Moreover, control treatment K, Na, Mg, which are highly mobile nutrients, whereas levels moderately nutrients such as Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn decreased. Deficit total tocopherols, rotation. main fatty acids were α-linolenic (C18:3n3), palmitic (C16:0) linoleic (C18:2n6), while PUFA decreased SFA content. Furthermore, induced accumulation phenolic compounds, flavonoids, acids, especially major compounds (e.g., chicoric acid, quercetin-O-hexurunoside, luteolin-O-hexurunoside). leaf extracts exhibited varied antioxidant activity (assessed TBARS OxHLIA assays), antimicrobial activity. On other hand, no antifungal, antiproliferative (except AGS cell line), hepatotoxic, anti-inflammatory recorded. In conclusion, combination bean positively affected quality traits fresh leaves, thus suggesting eco-friendly practices could have beneficial cultivation spinosum within context climate-change mitigation strategies.
