Vegetables are not disturbed by pests and diseases
Intercropping maize with spicy peppers can significantly reduce the occurrence of sunburn and virus disease in peppers by 72% compared to growing them alone. When corn is intercropped with green peppers, it helps lower the incidence of green pepper virus disease by 56.9%. Similarly, planting cucumbers among corn can reduce cucumber mosaic disease by 61.6%.
In the case of cabbage intercropped with maize, the field temperature is about 0.5°C lower, and the ground temperature drops by 2°C, which leads to a reduction of over 20% in cabbage virus disease, 18% less white spot disease, and significant decreases in soft rot and downy mildew.
Intercropping potatoes with garlic has been shown to suppress the occurrence of potato late blight. Melon and tomato intercropping can help reduce tomato sunburn. Onions and carrots grown together benefit from their natural odors, which repel each other’s pests.
Planting garlic between rows of cabbage can reduce cabbage soft rot by as much as 62.5%. Cabbage and leeks intercropped together also help minimize damage from soft rot. Additionally, when cruciferous vegetables like cabbage, broccoli, or lettuce are grown alongside tomatoes or peppermint, the strong scent of the latter deters cabbage white butterflies, reducing pest damage.
In vineyards, planting cucumbers can lower the incidence of brown spot and downy mildew on grapes by an average of 47.5%. These intercropping strategies not only improve crop health but also enhance biodiversity and reduce the need for chemical pesticides, making them a sustainable and effective agricultural practice.
