Similarly, marigolds have natural-repellent properties and excrete a substance at the root called alpha-terthienyl, preventing the toxic pests like nematodes from growing.
Marigold flowers also attract beneficial insects like ladybugs, parasitic wasps, and lacewings which helps in controlling the pests naturally.
