Abstract
Provided herein are aqueous nematicidal compositions comprising biologically active 3,5-disubstituted-1,2,4-oxadiazoles or salts thereof in combination with a dispersant component comprising a polyarylphenol alkoxylate and a second dispersant that are useful, for example, in the control of nematodes and exhibit reduced crystal growth when applied to a surface. Also provided herein are aqueous nematicidal compositions wherein the second dispersant comprises a lignin sulfonate, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) polymers, polyvinylpyrrolidone/vinylacetate (PVP/VA) copolymer, maleic acid/olefin polymer, comb-graft copolymer, propylene oxide block copolymer, salts thereof, or combinations thereof.
