Abstract
A method for the treatment of nematodes includes the impregnation of soil with a nematicidal amount of bromonitromethane. The application is made at rates of 1 to 40 quarts of bromonitromethane per acre of soil. The bromonitromethane has excellent nematicidal effect at surprisingly low concentrations, is cost effective, and is not phytotoxic. The bromonitromethane may be suspended in a variety of liquid or solid carrier systems, and is applied to the soil by methods including mixing, fumigation and injection.
