Test Nematode Control Marigold (Tagetes patula) Check out our other listings! Nematode Control Marigold is a bushy annual developed specifically for the control of harmful nematodes in crop fields and is a good alternative to chemical nematicides and fumigants. The plants, which grow to between 30 and 40 inches in height, have delicate, fern-like foliage and bright, red-to-orange blossoms that bloom from early summer to late fall. The roots of the marigold release a natural compound called alpha-terthienyl, which inhibits the hatching of nematode eggs. To reduce nematode populations in your garden, grow the marigolds as a cover crop prior to planting other flower or vegetable varieties, then till the marigold plants into the soil as a green manure. In areas with a shorter growing season, marigolds should be grown during the previous season. Crops that benefit the most from nematode control include potatoes, tomatoes, tobacco, cucurbits, soybeans, and squash. Direct sow in spring once temperatures are consistently above 70 degrees F. Plant seeds just below the soil's surface. Keep soil lightly moist until germination, which should occur within 5 to 10 days.
