Content: Nematocides are diverse in their chemical and biological activities and in their behaviour in soil. ADVERTISEMENTS: There are two general types of nematocides – fumigants and non-fumigants. Chemically they can be categorized as halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons, methyl isothiocyanate liberators, organophosphates and organocarbamates. The common pesticides of nematodes are given in Table. Nematocides (or nematicides) have been discussed in detail by Allen (1960). The types of nematicides, their biological action in soil and the ecological repercussions of nematocides have been recently reviewed by Van Gundy and McKenry (1977). Kuhn (1881) attempted to control the sugarbeet nematode Heterodera schachtii Schmidt with a number of chemicals and concluded that the most promising was carbon disulphide. However, the results produced by this chemical were not entirely satisfactory and it also proved very costly. ADVERTISEMENTS:
