Buckwheat left suppresses weeds and attracts beneficial insects that can help protect brassicas right. Certain plants can benefit others when planted in close proximity or used as botanical pesticides. This publication discusses the scientific and traditional basis for companion planting associations including trap cropping, weed suppression, physical-spatial interactions, and other relationships.
It provides a companion planting chart for common herbs, vegetables, and flowers, as well as a listing of literature resources. An appendix provides information on the Three Sisters, a traditional Native American companion planting practice.
Companion planting can be described as establishing two or more plant species in close proximity for some cultural benefit such as pest control or higher yield. The concept embraces a number of strategies that increase the biodiversity of agroecosystems Cunningham, Generally, companion planting is thought of as a small-scale gardening practice. However, here the term is applied in its broadest sense to include applications to commercial horticultural and agronomic crops. ATTRA has another publication, Intercropping Principles and Practices, that provides additional information on larger-scale applications.
Although companion planting has a long history, the mechanisms of beneficial plant interaction have not always been well understood. Traditional recommendations see Table 1 used by gardeners have evolved from an interesting combination of historical observation, horticultural science, and a few unconventional sources.
For example, some of the recommendations for companion planting, made around the middle of the 20th century, were based on the results of sensitive crystallization tests Philbrick and Gregg, A step beyond companion planting is using botanically based pesticides. Companion planting is a passive approach, while botanical sprays are more intensive. Both rely on phytochemicals in the host plant being different from the companion plant, or the one being treated. The same can be said of synthetic pesticides Spiers et al.
