Abstract

Tagetes patula intercropping with carrot and cauliflower was investigated for pest control and carotenoid production. The monocropped vegetables uncovered and covered with non-woven fleece served as controls. The yield of T. patula flowers and carotenoids was not affected by the intercropping. The intercropping significantly reduced the frequency of forked carrots and increased cauliflower yield. Land equivalent ratio and estimated revenues indicated that cauliflower+T. patula treatment offers higher profit compared to the uncovered monocropped control. Fleece cover increased cauliflower yield and reduced leaf damage caused by flea beetles and cabbage aphids incidence. A similar trend was observed for T. patula treatment.

摘要

研究了万寿菊与胡萝卜和花椰菜间作的病虫害防治和类胡萝卜素生产。未覆盖并覆盖有非织造羊毛的单作蔬菜作为对照。T. patula花和类胡萝卜素的产量不受间作影响。间作显着降低了分叉胡萝卜的频率并提高了花椰菜的产量。土地当量比和估计收入表明，与未覆盖的单作对照相比，花椰菜 + T. patula处理提供更高的利润。羊毛覆盖增加了花椰菜的产量，减少了由跳蚤甲虫和卷心菜蚜虫引起的叶片损害。对于T. patula治疗观察到类似的趋势。
