Abstract
Chemical compositions having superior nematicidal properties are formulated. The compositions contain one or more selected aldehydes as the major component and one or more aliphatic or cyclic isothiocyanates as a minor component. Preferred mixtures contain furfural and one or both of methyl isothiocyanate and allyl isothiocyanate. Plant-parasitic nematodes are controlled by contacting the nematodes with the nematicidal compositions, by, for example, applying the compositions to soil or other plant growth media containing the nematodes.
