Soil

Well-drained loamy soil with a soil pH of 7–7.5 is considered ideal. Avoid marigold cultivation in acidic and alkaline soil.

Land Preparation

Plough the field to a fine tilth and then incorporate 10 tonnes of FYM for a one-acre field. The field should be irrigated before sowing. Seedlings can be used for transplanting after 1 month of sowing or when they have 4–5 leaves.

Spacing

90 × 60 cm

Climate

The optimum temperature range for its growth is 18–20°C

Season

Season Type	Sowing & Harvest Period
Summer	Sowing Jan-Feb; Transplanting Feb-Mar; Harvesting May-July
Rainy	Sowing June; Transplanting July; Harvesting September
Winter	Sowing September; Transplanting October; Harvesting January

Seed Rate

0.75 kg/ha

Fertilizers & Manures

FYM	20–25 t/ha
Nitrogen (N)	90 Kg/Ha	45 Kg as a basal dose and 45 Kg top dressing
Phosphorus (P₂O₅)	90 Kg/Ha	Basal application
Potassium (K₂O)	75 Kg/Ha	Basal application
Any special cases: No

Irrigation

Field must be irrigated immediately after sowing. Number of irrigations and interval depends on type of soils, age of crop and climatic conditions. Light soils: 5–6 days interval; Heavy soils: 8–9 days interval.

Weed Control

4–6 manual weeding

Any Special Crop Practices

Pinching: It involves the removal of apical buds which stimulates lateral branching and results in a more bushy and compact plant with more flowers. It delays flowering but results in the production of more flowers. Pinching is recommended to be done after 25–30 days after transplanting.

Diseases

Damping Off	Most prevalent during the seedling stage. Necrotic rings or spots appear on the young seedlings. In severe cases, the affected seedlings may collapse and die before they even emerge from the soil. Controlled by drenching: Matalaxyl 4% + Mancozeb 64% WP (3g/L)
Collar Rot	Fungus affects the collar region of the plant leading to discoloration of the stem disrupting xylem and phloem resulting in wilting of the plants. Control: Penflufen 13.28% + Trifloxystrobin 13.28% FS @ 0.5 ml/ltr, Pyraclostrobin 3.5% + Thiram 15% + Clothianidin 22.5% FS @ 0.5 ml/ltr
Powdery Mildew	This disease is favored by high humidity, white powdery residue primarily on the upper leaf surface. On the lower surface of the leaves circular patches or spots appear. Severely attacked leaves become brown and defoliation. Control: Carbendazim (1ml/litre of water) or Karathane (0.5 ml/litre of water), Tebuconazole 50% + Trifloxystrobin 25% @ 0.5 gm/ltr or Meptyl dinocap @ 0.5 gm/ltr
Leaf Spot and Blight	Causes dark, circular lesions with concentric rings on leaves. Control: Carbendizim 12% + Mancozeb 3% WP (2g/L)
Botrytis Blight / Gray Mold	Flowers may appear water soaked and turn brown or grey as the disease progresses. Gray fuzzy mold growth appears on flowers and foliage. Stems may rot leading to the collapse of plants. Spray: Chlorothalonil 75% WP (2g/L), Copper Oxy Chloride 50% WP (2g/L) + Streptomycin 90% + Tetracycline hypochloride 10% (0.5g/L), Kasugamycin 5% + COC 45% WP @ 2 gm/ltr

Pests

Leaf Miners	The miner scrap the chlorophyll content forming serpentine markings on the leaves. Control: Cyantraliprole 10.26% OD @ 1.8 ml/ltr, Chlorantraniliprole 8.8% + Thiamethoxam 17.5% @ 0.5 gm/ltr
Thrips	Cause damage to leaves and fruits, and vector Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV). Use blue sticky traps and spray Fipronil 7% + Hexythiazox 2% SC, Spirotetramat 240g/L.
Aphids and White Flies	Colonies of nymphs and adults attack leaves and tender shoots and suck the sap; leaves curl and dry up. Control: Acepahte 75% SP (1.5 g/L), Dimethioate 1.5 ml/L, Imidacloprid 30.5% SC @ 0.25 ml/ltr, Diafenthiuron 50% WP @ 1 gm/ltr, 30–35 blue sticky traps/Ha
Flower Borer & Leaf Cutter	Damage the flower petals by feeding on petals and flowers get damaged and become non-marketable. Control: Cyclaniliprole 10% DC @ 0.8 ml/ltr, Chlorantraniliprole 4.5% + Novaluron 11.5% + Emamectin Benzoate 1.5% SE @ 1 ml/ltr
Mealy Bug	White, cotton-like masses on young shoots, stems, and leaves. The presence of sticky honeydew causes sooty mold development. Crinkled leaves lead to retarded growth of apical parts of shoots. Spray: Thiomethoxam 25% WG 0.5g/L
