Re: Scientific Proof of Companion Planting

**"* P* <R*@comcast.net>**

Sheri,

Here is a couple of studies...

http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/whri/research/integratedpestmanagement/com
panionplanting/

Here is an article referring to scientific studies...
http://www.planetnatural.com/site/companion-planting.html

Here is an excerpt from a book...
http://books.google.com/books?id=rF3-RzZ0psoC&pg=PA237&lpg=PA237&dq=companio
n+planting+studies&source=bl&ots=uUbwWb3vtj&sig=oiTaO1pTbFJkau5sbUqeU57YNmA&
hl=en&ei=Z2-zS8GDD5L6M66U4P4D&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=7&ved=0CB
gQ6AEwBg#v=onepage&q=companion%20planting%20studies&f=false

Seems like most information and studies relate to reducing pests.

Hope these help...!

Happy Easter everyone!

Does anyone have a link or the name of a publication that proves studies
have been done on companion planting and that it does work? I have a reader
who has informed me that stating that companion planting works is dishonest
and that it is merely an old wives tale. This reader furthermore states
there is no scientific proof what-so-ever to support my suggestions
concerning companion plants.
