Nematicidal

Pesticide type H = herbicide I = insecticide SF = soil fumigate F = fungicide and N = nematicide.

In the family Fabaceae,8 CS2 production was investigated with 40 taxa of the subfamily Mimosoideae 29 produced CS2 and 18 produced COS (the latter was not formed in absence of CS2 production). CS2 production was less common in the subfamilies, Caesalpiniodeae and Papillonoideae. Since CS2 has a variety of bacteriostatic, fungicidal, nematicidal, and insecticidal properties, this production might deter soil pathogens. 

Condensation of coumaric acid with malonic acid yields the basic chalcone and stilbane skeletons (see Fig. 3.6). Stilbenes are found in most vascular plants, where they exhibit fungicidal and to a lesser extent antibiotic properties. They function as both constitutive and inducible defense substances. Some stilbenes inhibit fungal spore germination and hyphal growth, whereas others are toxic to insects and parasitic nematodes (round-worms). They also possess antifeeding and nematicide properties in mammals. For example, resveratrol (a stilbene in red wine) suppresses tumor formation in mammals.

Since the first demonstration of soil solarization effectiveness against phytonematodes (Katan et al. 1976), nematicidal effects of solar heating were largely investigated on many genera of plant-parasitic nematodes.

This comprehensive definition makes it elear that a wide number of substances may be eonsidered to be pestieides, and that the eommonality among all pestieides is their ability to provide eontrol over pests. A variety of classifications for pesticides have been developed that are specific for the type of pest controlled. Insecticides, for example, are pesticides that control insects, while herbicides control weeds and fungicides control plant diseases (molds). In addition to these major classifications of pesticides, there are many other classifications. These include nematicides (for nematode control), acaracides (mite control), rodenticides (rodent control), molluscicide (snail and slug control), algacides (algal control), bacteriocides (bacterial control), and defoliants (leaf control).
