Abstract
A recently released non-fumigant nematicide, fluensulfone, belonging to the fluoroalkenyl chemical group, fluensulfone, was tested against field populations of root-knot nematodes Meloidogyne sp. i...

Plant parasitic nematodes are a threat for global agriculture, responsible for about 10% losses in annual global crop yields equal to an estimated US $173 billion per year (Dutta, Khan, & Phani, 2019; Elling, 2013)
This nematicide was effective against Pratylenchus penetrans, while it had no substantial effect on free-living nematodes
The results show that fluensulfone is a very effective nematicide, but on the other hand, it has shown a nondesirable phytotoxicity effect, especially in solanaceous plant species
Summary
Plant parasitic nematodes are a threat for global agriculture, responsible for about 10% losses in annual global crop yields equal to an estimated US $173 billion per year (Dutta, Khan, & Phani, 2019; Elling, 2013). A recent example of a new synthetic nematicide is fluensulfone which is the only member of this chemical group released onto the market as a nematicide. It has been tested either as EC or CS formulation by the company Makteshim-Agan Communication) and is registered so far for use in tomato, cucumber and other vegetable crops in Latin America under the commercial name of Nimitz®. It has received an EPA registration (September 2014) for control of plant parasitic nematodes in fruiting vegetables. There are few studies using this nematicide against some genera of plant parasitic nematodes in pot or microplot experiments
