Summary
The findings of this paper could help to develop and maintain a sustainable cabbage production by the enhancement of natural pest control with the help of companion planting. Our results indicate that Lobularia maritima (Brassicaceae) could be used to attract pests of cruciferous plants away from the crop.
Centaurea cyanus (Asteraceae) and Fagopyrum esculentum (Polygonaceae) could be used to suppress pests of cruciferous crops and to increase parasitism rate by fostering parasitoids.
