A method for the treatment of nematodes includes applying to the nematodes in the soil a nematicidal amount of furfural. The furfural is preferably impregnated into the nematode-infested soil. The furfural may be applied neat or suspended in a variety of liquid or solid carrier systems, and is applied to the soil by methods including mixing, fumigation and injection. The furfural has excellent nematicidal effect at low concentrations, is cost effective, and is not phytotoxic. |
