Systematic literature review on the use of spice and aromatic plants as companions in vegetable cultivation

The dataset summarizes records from peer-reviewed literature on aromatic crops as reported or prospective companions in vegetable cultivation. Publications were retrieved on 19 of March 2021 from ScienceDirect Elsevier’s platform, and 63 publications were included into the dataset. Records include crop list, the scope of study, the mode of crop interaction, and the list of agroecological functions studied. For each function effect direction, effect size and measurement unit, and prospective mechanism are identified whenever reported. The description of systematic literature review protocol is given in Ardanov et al. (2023, Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems, submitted).
