Fennel was a suggested companion plant to use. I'd appreciate any information anyone can give about others. Thanks.

Can anyone provide university-type research on companion planting? We've got _Carrots Love Tomatoes_ and a biodynamic pub or two, but what we need are a few examples taken from ag or scientific journals. I know that research has been done on: sweet allysum and lettuce, and native thistle as a trap crop for artichokes, but can't find a paper or article. Any help, esp. references, would be much appreciated. If this is a FAQ, please excuse my newness and just send the archives.
