Abstract

Sustainability in agriculture is crucial for environmental conservation and ecosystem resilience. Within this context, companion planting stands out as a key practice, leveraging synergies between plants for enhanced growth and pest control. However, its broader adoption is hindered by large-scale knowledge and data integration challenges. To bring companion planting forward and closer to interested users, we engineered a semantically rich ontology, CoPla. We used several automated techniques to extract knowledge from various sources and capture different companion and anti-companion mechanisms.We demonstrate CoPla’s versatility through three applications using different reasoning mechanisms: identifying plant companionships, evaluating, and optimising garden layouts.
