Profile

Tagetes patula Proud Mary is a strong control agent of the root lesion nematode Pratylenchus penetrans. In addition to its action on Pratylenchus penetrans, initial research shows that the variety Proud Mary also has activity against Meloidogyne chitwoodi. The hybrid variety Proud Mary grows strongly throughout the season, suppressing weeds and yielding a lot of organic matter. 

  • High uptake of nitrogen from soil
  • Tagetes has perennial activity against Pratylenchus penetrans
  • Strong through-growth and therefore weed-suppressing
  • Very high type with lots of biomass
  • Provides plenty of nectar and promotes above-ground biodiversity
