Abstract:To increase the biodiversity of agricultural systems, aromatic plants appear particularly promising as additional perennial crops in intercropping. They produce essential oils that contain monoterpenes, for example. These compounds have antibiotic properties that make them interesting for commercialisation as medicinal or pesticide products, but also carry the risk of undesirable effects on soil microorganisms and thus on essential soil functions. To investigate this, the monoterpenes thymol and carvacrol and … Show more
