Nematicide

A type of chemical used to kill plant-parasitic nematodes. Nematicides may be classed as soil fumigants or soil amendments, space fumigants, surface sprays, or dips. Soil treatments are commonly used because most plant-pathogenic species spend part or all of their life cycle in the soil, in or about the roots of plants. Nematicides may be liquids, gases, or solids, but on a field scale, liquids are most practical.Nemata Pesticide
