Abstract

Chloramine-T (sodium p-toluene sulfonchloramide) was a good surface sterilant for Ditylenchus dipsaci, however it was somewhat nematicidal. These properties were presumably associated with its properties as an oxidizing chlorine. Other chloramines tested were also toxic. Its possible use as a nematicide is suggested in relation to dosage and phytotoxicity. The comparative effects of chloramines on a wide range of freeliving soil nematodes and freeliving infective larvae of animal parasitic forms are included.
