Patent ID: 6887900

Claim:
A method for control of unwanted nematodes, the method comprising administering to mammals, plants, seed or soil a nematicidal composition comprising: (a) an effective amount of a compound having the formula wherein: R 1 =a C1-C5 substituted or unsubstituted carbon chain, wherein the substituants are selected from the group consisting of: i) hydroxy, ii) halogen, iii) amino, vi) cyano, v) cyclopropane, vi) cyclopropene, vii) epoxy, and viii) a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C2 carbon chain, wherein the substituants on the C1-C2 carbon chain selected from the group consisting of hydroxy, halogen, amino, cyano, and epoxy; R 2 =a C15-C19 substituted or unsubstituted carbon chain having a cis double bond between the 9 th and 10 th carbons counting from the carbonyl carbon and either, (i) a triple bond between the 12 th and 13 th carbons counting from the carbonyl carbon or (ii) either a single or double bond between the 12 th and 13 th carbons counting from the carbonyl carbon and at least one substituant at one or both of the 12 th and 13 th carbons counting from the carbonyl carbon, wherein the substituants are selected from the group consisting of: i) hydroxy, ii) halogen, iii) amino, vi) cyano, v) cyclopropane, vi) cyclopropene, vii) epoxy, and viii) a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C2 carbon chain, wherein the substituants on the C1-C2 carbon chain are selected from the group consisting of hydroxy, halogen, amino, cyano, and epoxy; and (b) an aqueous surfactant; whereby unwanted nematodes are controlled.
