Deuteronomy 22:9 (ESV) “You shall not sow your vineyard with two kinds of seed, lest the whole yield be forfeited, the crop that you have sown and the yield of the vineyard.” Some say this applies only to ha’eretz, others everywhere. It is one of those instructions we don’t understand the reason for as well, which tends to influence people’s decisions on whether it applies to us. This could also be a metaphor for mixed marriages with Gentiles. Allelopathic reactions between the grapevines and crops notably the grain crops. Even Pliny the elder knew of this. |

A good observation. However every plant does not have "Allelopathic reactions between" themselves and "he grapevines." And specific crops were not mentioned. I do however know grapes can be sensitive. Do you have any information on how serious a problem this is (or can be)? For now I will note your observation as a possible reason in the original text. Thanks. |

I do know most vineyards keep the in-row area of the floor free of vegetation. This addresses competition, rodents and pest issues as well as allelopathy. Most cereals, cole crops and sunflowers show allelopathy towards lettuce, the canary of allelopathy. Germination is cut 50-90% and germination time is lengthened as well.
