Article Synopsis
- A study from the Lithuanian Research Centre investigated the effects of intercropping white cabbage with aromatic plants like thyme and marigold on yield and nutritional content from 2017 to 2019.
- Results showed intercropping slightly affected mineral composition, with the highest cabbage yield (7.25 t/ha) from thyme, compared to monoculture (6.81 t/ha) in 2018.
- The research revealed that incorporating aromatic plants improves pest management and yields without significantly altering the biochemical quality of white cabbage, but further studies are needed on nitrate and glucosinolate levels.
Background: The effects of short-term ultraviolet B (UV-B) irradiation on sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L. cv. Cinnamon) plants at the 3-4 leaf pair and flowering stages were examined in controlled environment growth chambers.

Different levels of fertilizers (N = 0, 45, 90, and 135 kg x ha(-)(1)) were applied. It was found that fertilizers increase thyme crop, but differences in the yield of essential oil were not remarkable.
