“…These cropping systems collaborated to save production resources such as water and fertilizer, and manpower usage becomes more efficient, which contributed to the development of agroecosystem sustainability. For example, intercropping garlic (Allium sativum L.), onion (Allium cepa L.) or coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) in mustard (Brassica napus L.) field reduced aphid incidence (NOMAN et al, 2013). Although the mustard seed production was diminished, the income generated by the intercropped plants was very high (three times more than the monocrops) (NOMAN et al, 2013).…”

Studies showed that intercropping garlic reduced pests in strawberry field crops. However, influence of intercropping on yield was not tested. The objective of the study was to evaluate the strawberry pseudofruit and garlic bulb productions in monocropping and intercropping systems. Assessments of the yields and calculation of the land equivalent ratio, competition ratio and gross income were performed. The experiments were conducted in three areas (two open field and one greenhouse) in Londrina municipality. Treatments in the field experiments were garlic or strawberry in monocrops (controls), strawberry (S) + one garlic row (GR), S + 2GR or S + 3GR per plot. In the greenhouse experiment, plants were grown in pots with following treatments: garlic or strawberry in monocrops, 2S + 2 garlic plants per plot (GPP), 2S + 4GPP or 2S + 5GPP. Similar yields (garlic bulbs and strawberry pseudofruits) were observed among the treatments. Intercropping garlic among strawberry plants increased the land equivalent ratio. The intercrop land equivalent ratio index ranged from 1.34 to 2.55. An increasing in gross income were observed when increasing garlic plant densities in intercropping with strawberry. Results showed that intercropping garlic with strawberry increases land equivalent ratio and gross income. Production of strawberry pseudofruits and garlic bulbs were not influenced by intercropping systems compared to monocropping.

“…The deleterious effects previously found against insects and mites (Sarker et al , 2007; Mtambo & Zeledon, 2010; Noman et al , 2013; Hata et al , 2016) have been attributed to volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as diallyl disulfide (DADS) and diallyl trisulfide (DATS) released by garlic leaves or dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) and dimethyl trisulfide (DMTS) released by the leaves of Chinese chives (Yabuki et al , 2010). In a bioassay with 16 essential oils from Chinese herbs, two major compounds of garlic essential oil (DADS and DATS) presented the strongest fumigant effect against Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), with LC50 values of 0.12 and 0.08 (μg/l air) for DADS and DATS, respectively (Liu et al , 2014).…”

“…Intercropping is defined as growing two or more plant species simultaneously (Vandermeer, 1989). Amaryllidaceae plants, such as garlic or onion, have been introduced in intercropping, and pest population or damage reduced in several crops (Noman et al , 2013; Tiroesele & Matshela, 2015; Hata et al , 2016). Chinese chives have also been proposed as an intercrop plant candidate for disease management: Pseudomonas solanacearum control on tomato (Yu, 1999) and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.…”

Strawberry is affected by several pests and diseases. Neopamera bilobata is an emerging pest that has been reported by several strawberry growers, usually associated with catfacing symptoms in fruits. We evaluated intercropping garlic or Chinese chives on N. bilobata populations on strawberry crops grown in high tunnels in two experiments. In the first experiment, we evaluated N. bilobata populations on strawberry intercropping with garlic plants (three densities: 8, 16, 24 GP - garlic plant per plot) on the bags by taking 12 samples from December 2015 to April 2017. N. bilobata populations on strawberry were also assessed when Chinese chives were grown under the suspended wooden structures in which strawberry plants are grown ('undercropping') (14 samples), in two high tunnels, from November 2016 to March 2017. The number of nymphs and adults on 14 randomly selected fruits per plot were assessed. During the garlic intercropping experiment, the treatments of three densities of garlic reduced N. bilobata populations; however, the 24 GP treatment caused a greater reduction than the 8 GP treatment. Garlic densities reduced N. bilobata populations by 35, 50, and 64% for the 8, 16, and 24 GP treatments, respectively. Chinese chives cultivated under the structures reduced N. bilobata populations by 47%. The results suggest that intercropping garlic or undercropping Chinese chives are suitable tools to be tested in integrated pest management in strawberry crops.

“…In this sense companion plants with commercial value have been used and may act in different ways on phytophagous arthropods: as pest repellent; attractant, arrestant or providing shelter to natural enemies; making host plant more difficult to be found either by masking host plant odour bouquet or masking visual cues. Garlic or onion (Amaryllidaceae) have been included in intercropping system and reduced pest populations on crops [3,4]; coriander have also been successfully included for diminishing whiteflies in vegetables [5]. "Banker" plants may provide shelter for mite predators as those which contains domatia in their leaves, like some varieties of pepper (Capsicum spp) [6][7][8].…”
