List of companion plants

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Main article: Companion planting
This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.

This is a list of companion plants, traditionally planted together. Many more are in the list of beneficial weeds. Companion planting is thought by its practitioners to assist in the growth of one or both plants involved in the association. Possible mechanisms[1] include attracting beneficial insects,[2] repelling pests,[3] or providing nutrients such as by fixing nitrogen,[4] shade, or support. Companion plantings can be part of a biological pest control program.[5] A large number of companion plant associations have been proposed; only a few of these have been subjected to scientific testing. Thus where a table column for example states "Helps" or "Helped by", this is to be read as meaning that traditional companion planting involves putting the named plants in that column into an association with the plant named at the left of the row, with the intention of causing the one plant to help or be helped by the other. Mechanisms that have been scientifically verified include using strongly aromatic plants to deter pests; using companions to hide crops from pests; providing plants as nurseries for beneficial insects including predators and parasitoids; trap cropping;[6] and allelopathy, where a plant inhibits the growth of other species.[7]

Asparagus Asparagus officinalis Tomatoes, parsley[16] Aster family flowers, dill, coriander, tomatoes,[16] parsley,[16] basil,[16] comfrey, marigolds, nasturtiums[17] Onion, garlic, potatoes
Beans, bush Phaseolus vulgaris Cucumber,[16] strawberries[18] Celery,[16] strawberries,[16] grains[19] soybeans,[19] dry beans,[19] alfalfa[19] "Lettuce, potato, tomato, other legumes, crucifers, or cucurbits increase sclerotinia" in the soil and should be avoided before and after snap beans.[19] See the entry for "Legumes" for more info
Beans, pole Phaseolus vulgaris Radishes, Corn brassicas, kohlrabi[20] the stalk of the corn provides a pole for the beans to grow on, which then gives nitrogen to the soil of the corn. Beans and corn are (with squash) traditional "Three Sisters" plants. As for Radishes, see the entry for "Legumes".
Beans, fava Vicia faba Strawberries, Celery[21] See the entry for "Legumes" for more info
Beets Beta vulgaris bush beans,[6] cabbage,[6] lettuce,[6] kohlrabi, onions, brassicas,[6][20] passion fruit[22] Bush beans,[6] onions, kohlrabi, catnip,[23] garlic, mint Runner or pole beans Good for adding minerals to the soil through composting leaves which have up to 25% magnesium. Runner or pole beans and beets stunt each other's growth.
Brassicas Brassica onions, Beets,[6][20] spinach,[20] chard,[20] Aromatic plants or plants with many blossoms, such as celery,[20] chamomile,[20] and marigolds.[15][24] Dill, sage, peas,[25] peppermint,[15] spearmint,[26] rosemary, rye-grass,[27] garlic, onions[20][28] and potatoes. geraniums, alliums, nasturtium,[28] borage, hyssop, tomatoes,[29] thyme,[28] wormwood, southernwood, beans,[19] clover[30] Wireworms Mustards, nightshades (tomatoes,[20] peppers, etc.), pole beans,[20] strawberries[20] Brassicas are a family of plants which includes broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage, kohlrabi, radish, and turnip. Thyme, nasturtiums, and onion showed good resistance to cabbage worm, weevil and cabbage looper.[28]
Broccoli Brassica oleracea Lettuce Beets, dill, onions,[6] tomato,[31] turnip,[32] clover[31] Broccoli as a main crop intercropped with lettuce was shown to be more profitable than either crop alone. Turnip acts as a trap crop.[32] See brassicas entry for more info

Dill attracts tomato hornworm.

Growing tomatoes with Basil does not appear to enhance tomato flavour but studies have shown that growing them around 10 inches apart can increase the yield of tomatoes by about 20%.[75] One study shows that growing chili peppers near tomatoes in greenhouses increases tomato whitefly on the tomatoes.[57]

Cucumbers and squash can be used as living mulch, or green mulch, around tomato plants. The large leaves of these vining plants can help with soil moisture retention.[79]

Turnips and rutabagas Brassica rapa and Brassica napobrassica Peas,[44] broccoli[32] Hairy vetch, peas[44] hedge mustard, knotweed Turnips act as a trap crop for broccoli.[32] See peas regarding their mutualism with turnips.

French marigolds (T. patula) produce a pesticidal chemical from their roots, so strong it lasts years after they are gone. Mexican marigolds (T. erecta) do the same, but are so strong they will inhibit the growth of some more tender herbs. Stinking Roger (T. minuta) has also been found effective against certain perennial weeds.[93] Same with lupin, planting nearby roses causes them to grow vigorously.
