Tagetes, marigold, velvet flower, Turkish carnation or dead flower, belongs to the family of composite plants (Asteraceae). There are about 60 species. It is grown as an ornamental plant, dye, spice, green manure and remedy and feels at home in flower beds and balcony boxes. Tagetes- strongly scented, are annual to perennial, herbaceous plants, rarely semi-shrubs or shrubs. They grow between 10 and rarely up to 200 cm tall. They bloom in white through lemon yellow to brownish red. In mixed culture Tagetes is used as a helper plant because of its strong smell. It is used to control soil fatigue produced by nematodes and it serves as a slug bait to protect neighboring plants from slug damage. Insect friendly.
