Marigold is an excellent crop for intercropping. It is the renowned as best trap crop. The reason being different kind of pest gets attracted to the yellow colour of marigold flower precisely borers. These pests lay eggs on the flower and doesn’t move towards the vegetable rows. Besides the flower production also doesn’t get spoiled because when the flowers are plucked the eggs drop down. Also the fragrance of marigold flowers help to drive out the insects and pests. Tomato, brinjal, cabbage and okra can be grown as intercrops with marigold. Ideally tomato and marigold are the best intercrops combination that is highly recommended. Another great thing about marigold grown as intercrop is that it is pretty low maintenance. As flowers go, they are easy to care for and will continue to grow for several seasons. Marigold also has medicinal property and can be used for cattle infection. If we put the marigold plants on vermicompost beds the the worms happily feed on it and gives medicially rich manure.
