Abstract：
The growing demand for higher-quality food production in smaller soil areas points to optimized land use. Intercropping has the potential to increase yield, reduce pests and diseases, and boost biodiversity. This study, conducted at the Institute of Horticulture, Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry, from 2017 to 2019, aimed to determine the effect of white cabbage intercropping with aromatic plants, calendula, French marigold, thyme, and sage on yield, mineral and biochemical composition. Aromatic plants are known to reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases, so this study aimed to determine whether aromatic plants affect the yield, mineral, and biochemical composition of white cabbage. The two-year observations demonstrated that aromatic plants did not affect or slightly affect the mineral composition of cabbage\'s primary macronutrients (N, P, K, Mg, and Ca). Cabbage\'s dry matter, sugars, and ascorbic acid content vary when grown intercropped with aromatic plants compared to monoculture. Although the results were comparable, sugar concentration was lower in all cabbage combinations than in monoculture. Lower nitrate levels were detected in cabbage monoculture, probably due to agro-meteorological circumstances. The highest cabbage yield was achieved by intercropping with thyme (7.25 t/ha) compared to monoculture (6.81 t/ha) in 2018. It was found that intercropping with aromatic plants had little effect on the biochemical composition of white cabbage. The study results suggest that French marigold and thyme can be grown together with white cabbage to improve the phytosanitary of vegetables without compromising the biochemical quality of the cabbages. However, the influence on biochemical composition, especially on the nitrate and glucosinolate levels, should be examined further, providing valuable insights for future research in this field.
摘要：
在较小的土壤地区对高质量食品生产的需求不断增长，这表明土地使用优化。间作有可能增加产量,减少病虫害，促进生物多样性。这项研究,在园艺研究所进行，立陶宛农业和林业研究中心，从2017年到2019年，旨在确定白菜与芳香植物间作的效果，金盏花,法国万寿菊,百里香,和鼠尾草的产量，矿物质和生化成分。已知芳香植物可以减少病虫害的发生，因此，这项研究旨在确定芳香植物是否会影响产量，矿物,和白菜的生化成分。两年的观察表明，芳香植物不影响或轻微影响白菜的主要常量营养素的矿物质组成（N，P,K,Mg,和Ca）。卷心菜的干物质，糖，糖与单一栽培相比，与芳香植物间作时，抗坏血酸含量会有所不同。尽管结果具有可比性，所有卷心菜组合中的糖浓度均低于单一栽培。在白菜单一栽培中检测到较低的硝酸盐水平，可能是由于农业气象情况。与2018年的单作（6.81t/ha）相比，百里香间作（7.25t/ha）的白菜产量最高。发现与芳香植物间作对白菜的生化成分影响不大。研究结果表明，法国万寿菊和百里香可以与白菜一起种植，以改善蔬菜的植物检疫，而不会损害白菜的生化质量。然而,对生化成分的影响，尤其是硝酸盐和芥子油苷的含量,应该进一步研究，为该领域的未来研究提供有价值的见解。
