Marigolds emit a strong scent that repels many pests, including nematodes and cucumber beetles. Planting marigolds around cucumber plants can help protect them from these pests. However, be cautious with French marigolds (Tagetes patula), as they may release a chemical that inhibits cucumber growth. In this book you’ll learn more about companion plants that help cucumbers to thrive.
