Abstract
Companion planting is an agricultural practice in which two or more plants are intentionally grown together to enhance mutual productivity. The special relationships that plants have with other organisms help create balanced ecosystems. Companion planting can be used to reduce the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides, increase yields, and attract beneficial insects such as pollinators.
