Abstract

Methods of combating nematodes or of preventing crop plants from being attacked by nematodes, wherein an effective amount of an alkylbenzene of the general formula I ##STR1## where R.sup.1, R.sup.2 are each C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl; PA0 R.sup.3 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, C.sub.3 -C.sub.6 -cycloalkyl, C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 -alkenyl or C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 -alkynyl; PA0 R.sup.4 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl or C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 -alkenyl; and PA0 R.sup.5 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, C.sub.3 -C.sub.6 -cycloalkyl, C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 -alkenyl or C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 -alkynyl is allowed to act on the pests or their habitat, and the use of alkylbenzenes of the formula I for combating nematodes.
