Marigold is one of the most commonly grown commercial flower crops in India and has varied uses of its flowers. Today, there is a huge demand for natural colours in the international market. Marigold is one of such potential flower crops for natural colour extraction. The African marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) having higher xanthophyll content as compared to other species.
