“…For instance, intercropping of chickpea with mustard markedly reduced the development of wilt in the chickpea, thus enhancing seed emergence and seedling growth (Jamil et al, 2021). Intercropping of tomato with potato and onion reduced pathogen infection in the tomato by enhancing the activities of antifungal and defense‐related enzymes, as well as that of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (Sweellume et al, 2023). Here, it was found that intercropping markedly enhanced seedling growth of the faba bean.…”

“…Currently used methods for controlling soil‐borne disease include the use of disease‐resistant varieties, fungicide spraying, and biological control (Bai et al, 1996; Zhao et al, 2014). However, these methods have drawbacks, such as high costs, potential environmental pollution, and limited long‐term effectiveness (Sweellum et al, 2023). Intercropping is commonly used in traditional agricultural practices in China.…”

Continuous cropping severely affects faba bean growth, mainly due to pathogen and autotoxic substance accumulation. Here, we used faba bean monocropping (M) and intercropping with wheat (I), with stress treatments of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. fabae (FOF) alone (F) and combined with cinnamic acid (F + C), to analyze seedling growth, defense‐related enzymes, levels of resistance‐associated substances, and protein expression profiles in roots. The results showed that intercropping mitigated the inhibitory effects of FOF and cinnamic acid. FOF resulted in increased activities of defense‐related enzymes as well as levels of resistance‐associated substances. Proteomic analysis showed that 22 proteins were upregulated following FOF inoculation (M + F), and 6 proteins were downregulated after the addition of cinnamic acid (M + F + C) in monocropping plants; these proteins were mainly involved in pathways associated with carbohydrate metabolism, energy, and the cytoplasm. Comparison of monocropping and intercropping indicated that the upregulated proteins were mostly associated with stress and defense, carbohydrate transport and metabolism, maintenance of cellular homeostasis, and protein synthesis. KEGG analysis revealed that intercropping increased enrichment in pathways associated with metabolism, ribosomes, biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, proteasomes, pyruvate metabolism, and pentose and glucuronate interconversions. The results indicated that intercropping mitigated growth inhibition by FOF and cinnamic acid by increasing energy production, maintaining normal cellular functions, and promoting the synthesis of defense‐associated secondary metabolites. These findings provide a basis for further investigation into the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of intercropping in controlling resistance to Fusarium wilt in the faba bean.

“…Intercropping, a widely used traditional agronomic measure, has been proven effective in controlling crop diseases (Cao et al., 2015). For example, tomato–potato onion intercropping has successfully mitigated tomato Fusarium wilt (Sweellum & Naguib, 2023). In this study, we discovered that during the peak of the disease, faba bean–wheat intercropping outperformed faba bean monocropping, particularly under N2 treatment, which exhibited the lowest disease incidence.…”

This study set up four nitrogen application levels (0, 45, 90 and 135 kg/ha) and two planting systems (faba bean monocropping and faba bean and wheat intercropping) to investigate the incidence of faba bean Fusarium wilt under different treatments and determine the resistance enzyme activities and gene expression, protein expression, and other indexes of faba bean plants. At all N levels, faba bean and wheat intercropping controlled faba bean Fusarium wilt by decreasing the content of hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion in faba bean roots, increasing the enzyme activity and gene expression of the superoxide dismutase and the gene expression of pathogenesis‐related protein 1 (VfPR1), VfPR2, VfPR5 and VfPR10 disease resistance proteins in the roots, with the most significant effects at the N2 level (90 kg/ha). Further investigation of the impact of intercropping on faba bean roots using the N2 treatment showed that faba bean–wheat intercropping upregulated 288 proteins and downregulated 179 proteins compared with monocropping, and the functions of the upregulated proteins were mainly related to energy metabolism, antioxidant enzymes, stress and DNA repair. GO functional analysis showed that the upregulated proteins were mainly focused on the involvement in amide biological processes. KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that faba bean–wheat intercropping upregulated proteins involved in glutathione metabolism and ascorbic acid metabolism. In summary, at the N2 level, faba bean–wheat intercropping effectively mitigated root oxidative stress by enhancing antioxidant and disease resistance mechanisms in faba bean roots.

“…For example, when the tomato grew with A. cepa, it exhibited heightened activity in antifungal enzymes and increased content of phenols bound to the cell wall, effectively curbing the growth and spread of Fusarium oxysporum Schl. (Sweellum and Naguib, 2023). Moreover, root exudates from tomatoes accompanied by A. cepa significantly inhibit the mycelia growth and spore germination of Verticillium dahlia Kleb (Fu et al, 2015).…”

Sustainable agriculture has become a global priority in response to increasing food demand and the challenges confronting agricultural production, such as biotic and abiotic stresses. In this review, we delve into the role of plant diversity in mitigating these stressors within tomato cultivation. Our investigation reveals that the most extensively studied companion species are Vicia villosa Roth, Coriandrum sativum L., and Allium cepa L., while the primary stressors under scrutiny include nutrient deficiencies, aerial pests, and soil-borne pathogenic diseases. Regarding nutrient deficiencies, the cover crop system has demonstrated its capacity to provide essential nutrients directly and indirectly to plants. In addressing aerial pests and pathogens, all cultivation systems exhibit contributions. Finally, we assert that incorporating plant diversity into agroecosystems can effectively counteract various types of stressors. These benefits align with the application of agroecological principles and the development of sustainable agroecosystems. Further assessments of the effects of additional companion plant species are imperative. This should encompass the identification of their distribution, optimal plant quantities, and cultivation systems that enhance their benefits. Ultimately, these evaluations will aid in the formulation of comprehensive guidelines to facilitate the selection and utilization of plant diversity for long-term sustainability.
