The invention discloses a method for preventing and controlling
plant diseases and
insect pests by
intercropping of vegetables, and belongs to the field of modern
pollution-free agricultural prevention and control of
plant diseases and
insect pests. Green onion and leaf vegetable are intercropped, a planting mode of 20 centimeters with a field is adopted, the green onion is planted in 5 rows and the row distance is 3 centimeters, the leaf vegetable is
plant in 1 row and the row distance is 5 centimeters, 5 rows of green onion is planted with the
seedling density per mu of 4,800 plants, then 1 row of leaf vegetable is planted, and the green onion and the leaf vegetable grow at intervals; the plant diseases and the
insect pests can be controlled by using the growth
habit difference of the green onion and the leaf vegetable and the strong pungent smell of the green onion; and the plant diseases and the insect pests of the green onion are original little, and the eggs of the plant diseases and the insect pests of the green onion planted field are relatively little, so the prodenia litura fabricius of the leaf vegetable is reduced by over 30 percent, the
cabbage worm is reduced by 20 percent, the
soft rot disease of the leaf vegetable is reduced by 18 percent, the
downy mildew is reduced by 12 percent, and the generation of other plant diseases and insect pests of various leaf vegetables is also lightened obviously; therefore, the prevention and
control effect which is better than that of
pesticide application is achieved without applying
pesticide. The
pesticide pollution can be reduced, the agricultural insecticidal cost is lowered, the yield is improved, and the effects of greenness, safety and health are completely achieved.
