What are the genetic traits to look for in companion plants for improved yield?
With my background in plant genetics, I'm interested in how specific genetic traits in companion plants might contribute to improved yield and overall plant health in my garden. I've read about companion planting enhancing growth through allelopathy and mutual support, but I wonder if there are particular traits to focus on when selecting companions for high-yield crops like peppers and tomatoes. Are there any studies or examples that detail the genetic considerations that could enhance these plant relationships? Additionally, how could I evaluate these traits while planning my garden layout? Thanks in advance for any insights on this technical aspect!
