Your Tomatoes and you will profit from companion plantings in many different ways. Some companion plants will act as natural insect protection for typical tomato pests, others will provide nitrogen for better growth and others will provide flowers to attract bees for pollination.
Marigold: Protects tomatoes from white flies and attracts pollinators.
Beans: Supply tomatoes with nitrogen by grabbing atmospheric nitrogen and release it in the soil.
Rocket and lettuce: Extra harvest and they don’t compete for nutrients or water with the tomato plants.
Basil: Increases the taste of the tomato fruits.
