- Tagetes is a genus of
52 species of annual and perennial herbaceous plants in the daisy
family.
They are native to the area stretching from the southwestern
United States into Mexico and south throughout South America.
- Tagetes is an
ingredient of many foot treatment preparations and is also used
extensively in French perfumes.
- Tagetes It is an annual
herb up to 60 cm high with soft, oval, pale leaves and bright orange
daisy-like flowers.
- In the past the tall,
larger-flowered Tagetes erecta was often called African marigold and the
shorter, smaller Tagetes patula was known as French marigold.
- Tagetes oil is
extracted from the leaves, stalks and flowers, picked when the seeds are
just starting to form.
- The essential oil is
obtained by steam distillation from the fresh flowering herb and also an
absolute by solvent extraction from the flowering herb.
Extracts of
marigolds, Tagetes minuta L., Tagetes erecta L., and Tagetes patula L.,
can be used as insecticides, fungicides, and nematocides.
- Marigold root extracts
to be used in a pesticidal formulation, the least toxic concentration of
inert formulation for the extracts to be miscible in water is 0.01
ppm.
If extracts of Tagetes minuta were to be used for control of
aquatic pests or intermediate hosts of disease-causing organisms, or if
the plant was used as a pesticidal intercrop, the possibility exists
that some marigold compounds may seep into the groundwater and migrate
into nearby rivers and streams.
- Lutein from Tagetes
erecta L. is a purified extract obtained from marigold oleoresin, which
is extracted from the petals of marigold flowers with organic
solvents.
- Tagetes oil is valuable
in keeping insects at bay, and can help with parasitic and fungal
infestation.
It could help with chest infections, coughs and catarrh,
dilating the bronchi, facilitating the flow of mucus and dislodging
congestion.
- Tagetes oil is useful
in cases of skin infections, and has a healing effect on wound, cuts,
calluses and bunions.
- Tagetes oil can be
useful for treating the respiratory system, infections of the skin and
as an insect repellent.
- It is used for
flavoring tobacco and in most major food categories, including alcoholic
and soft drinks.
- Tagetes minuta is an
introduced weed which grows mainly in the first few years on reverted
cultivated land. Extraction rates are normally 0.1-0.4%. If the material
is situated reasonably close to a still and can be collected
economically, the variable costs are low and production can be
profitable. The world market offtake is around 15 tons p.a. and prices
are $50/kg and on an upward trend.
