Résumé
The data presented in this article were collected in the field at an experimental station in southern France under a Mediterranean climate. Experiments were conducted under three plastic walk-in tunnels used as blocks with organic farming practices over two successive years in a completely randomized design. The aim was to compare the intercropping of sweet pepper with basil, onion, lettuce, parsley or French bean to a sole crop of sweet pepper used as a control. The dataset provides information on cultural practices with details on inputs and working times used to estimate economic costs. The data also describe the climatic conditions under tunnels as well as the dynamics of soil nitrate concentration and water tension over time through treatments. Yields, economic benefits and the rates of products with visual defects are presented. In addition, some variables applied exclusively to sweet pepper crops, namely nitrate concentration in petiole sap, growth parameters, abundance of aerial pests and beneficials, incidence of root necrosis, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi colonization rates and diversity in roots. The field dataset is made publicly available to allow free and easy access for the scientific and professional community to enable analysis and reuse.
