Materials and methods for killing nematodes and nematode eggs

Abstract

Substituted 3,4-bis-alkylamino -1,2,4-thiadioyoles useful for the control of nematodes are disclosed. Specifically, the subject anthelmintic compounds have been found to advantageously control nematodes at concentrations which are non-phytotoxic. The anthelmintic compounds can be used in conjunction with other nematicidal agents such as free fatty acids, fatty acid salts, avermectins, ivermectin, and milbemycin. In another embodiment, the subject invention further provides methods for killing the eggs of nematodes. Thus, the subject invention further relates to the surprising discovery that certain compounds have ovicidal activity against nematode eggs.
