The tool combines 3 approaches:
- Trait-based approach utilizing information from 3 databases: Plants for a Future (PFAF), Natural Plant Capital Database (NPC), and TRY database. You can improve this tool by supplementing missing information and by correcting outputs whenever databases report different values.
- Citizen science approach - you can utilize suggestions from peer growers as well as to share your own experience.
- Systematic literature review approach - you can improve performance of your vegetable polycultures by including spice and aromatic crops with proven efficiency in pest control and growth promotion.		Mustard Green3Potato; Beetroot; Onion
