Policultivo, cultivos trampa y plantaciones complementarias
El policultivo es una forma de agricultura en la que se cultiva más de una especie al mismo tiempo y lugar, imitando la diversidad de ecosistemas naturales. El policultivo es lo opuesto al monocultivo, en el que solo los miembros de una especie vegetal o animal se cultivan juntos.

Certain plants can benefit others when planted in close proximity or used as botanical pesticides. This publication discusses the scientific and traditional basis for companion planting associations including trap cropping, weed suppression, physical-spatial interactions, and other relationships....

20/1/2005 Companion planting is Fundamental #3. It is also called inter cropping. These crops are used for insect control, to make wind blocks, and they promote soil conservation. When harvested, they are used for compost and feed for livestock. Companion plants also create a desirable mulch and green...
