Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure relate to a nematicidal composition. The composition includes propanoic acid, a salt of a C4-C6 acid, an acid ester of a C2-C5 carboxylic acid moiety and a C2-C5 alcohol moiety, and a C2-C8 aldehyde. A ratio of the propanoic acid to the salt to the acid ester to the C2-C8 aldehyde is 2:2:5:2 (v/v/w/v). Embodiments of the disclosure also relate to a method of treating plant parasitic nematodes. In the method, a solution including the composition is applied to soil surrounding the plant.
Claims33
A composition, comprising:
- propanoic acid;
- a salt of a C4-C6 acid;
- an acid ester having a C2-C5 carboxylic acid moiety and a C2-C5 alcohol moiety;
- and
- a C2-C8 aldehyde;
- wherein a ratio of the propanoic acid to the salt to the acid ester to the C2-C8 aldehyde is 2:2:5:2 (v/v/w/v).
A nematicidal composition, comprising:
- a liquid component comprising propanoic acid, at least one acid ester, and at least one aldehyde, wherein the propanoic acid, the at least one acid ester, and the at least one aldehyde comprise from 90% to 100% by volume of the liquid component;
- and
- an acid salt dissolved in the liquid component.
A method of treating plant parasitic nematodes, comprising:
- applying a solution comprising a composition to soil surrounding a plant, wherein the composition comprises propanoic acid, a salt of a C4-C6 acid, an acid ester having a C2-C5 carboxylic acid moiety and a C2-C5 alcohol moiety, and a C2-C8 aldehyde;
- wherein a ratio of the propanoic acid to the salt to the acid ester to the C2-C8 aldehyde is 2:2:5:2 (v/v/w/v).
