Marigolds are a

wonder-drug of thecompanion plantworld, invoking the

saying "plant them

everywhere in your

garden". Frenchmarigolds produce

a pesticidal

chemical from theirroots, so strong it

lasts years after

they are gone.Mexican marigolds

do the same, but are

so strong they will

inhibit the growthof some more

tender herbs.

Certain Varieties ofmarigolds (Tagetes)

can help manage

eelworms (Root-knot nematode)

when planted the

year before [1].

Tagetes has alsobeen found

effective against
