Method for controlling pests using stabilized thiocarbonate solutions

摘要

Aqueous thiocarbonate solutions are stabilized by the addition of base, sulfide and/or polysulfide, and the stability and safety of the more concentrated solutions containing 1 weight percent or more equivalent CS2 as a thiocarbonate are achieved as reflected by significant reduction of CS2 partial pressure in such solutions. The stabilized thiocarbonate solutions are employed to control pests in soil.
