Effects of seven different companion plants on cucumber productivity, soil chemical characteristics and Pseudomonas community

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2017
: Companion cropping can influence cucumber productivity by altering soil chemical characteristics and microbial communities. However, how these alterations affect the growth of cucumber is still unknown. In this study, seven different plant species were
