Nematocidal preparations

This invention provides a method for the control of mollusks by treating said mollusk or its habitat with a synergistic composition including O,O-dialkyl-O-(3-benzothienglyoxylonitrile oximino)phosphate of the structure ##STR1## wherein each R is an alkyl group of 1-4 carbon atoms and at least one other known molluscicide.

Molluscicide compositions and methods of use

Covers a method for the control of mollusks by treating said mollusk or its habitat with a compound of the formula: ##STR1## where Z is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halo and cyano; X is selected from the group consisting of ##STR2## and Y is selected from the group consisting of halo, loweralkyl, aziridino, hydrogen, carboxyalkylthio, and cyano.

Quinone derivatives as molluscicides

Biodegradable insecticides having the formula: ##STR1## where X, Y and R are different, and X and Y are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halo, lower alkyl and lower alkoxy, and R is selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur and sulfone.

.alpha.-Trichloromethyl thenyl phenylethers and sulfides

.alpha.-Trichloromethyl thenyl anilines as biodigradable insecticides

Covers a method of inducing abscission of fruit by applying a chemical composition containing an effective amount of a 4-nitropyrazole as the active ingredient in an agronomically acceptable carrier. Also covers certain 4-nitropyrazoles.

4-Nitropyrazoles

New antimicrobial agents of the formula ##STR1## where R.sub.1 includes halophenyl, loweralkyl, phenyl, nitrophenyl, dinitrophenyl, nitrofuryl, and nitrothienyl; R.sub.2 includes hydrogen and loweralkyl; and N.sub.het includes a heterocyclic moiety bonded through a nitrogen thereof which is sufficiently basic to form quaternary ammonium salts.

3,5-Substituted-1,2,4-oxadiazole inner quaternary ammonium salts

The invention covers the use of O,O-diethylthionophosphonyl-.alpha.-oximino-5-chloro-2-thienyl acetonitrile as a pesticide.

O,O-diethylthionophosphonyl-.alpha.-oximino-5-chloro-2-thienyl

Covers substituted aryloxyacetamido nitrile derivatives having the following general formula: ##SPC1## Wherein X, Y and Z are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, loweralkyl and halo, R and R' are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and loweralkyl, R', R'' and R'' are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, loweralkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, substituted aryl, and benzyl and R'' and R'' when taken together are cycloalkane, which derivatives are useful in increasing carbohydrate deposition in plants such as sugar cane.
