Chemical structure

Content: Spermatids appear to be the target for this compound and it has been shown to affect spermatogenesis in rat bulls and rams and to affect fertility in fowl ( Alexeeff et al., 1990 ). Human studies indicate that EDB may harm sperm and decrease fertility. Although it is a reproductive toxin, it does not appear to be teratogenic. View chapter Purchase book

6.5.3 Nematicides (including soil sterilants)
Nematicides, such as fosthiazate, have been developed for the control of nematode pests of crops. Fosthiazate is a soil-applied contact acting nematicide that controls potato cyst nematodes. Certain chemicals in this group are classified as soil sterilants, e.g. Dazomet. It is important to remember that a time interval must be observed between the last application of the pesticide and the harvesting of edible crops as well as the access of animals and poultry to treated areas. With some pesticides this interval is longer than others.
