Description

Tioxazafen is a modern, systemic nematicide belonging to the oxadiazole chemical class. Its primary value lies in its unique mode of action, offering effective control of plant-parasitic nematodes in major row crops, which is critical for protecting root health and maximizing agricultural yields. This product is essential for agricultural chemical formulators and producers seeking innovative crop protection solutions. Tioxazafen CAS NO 330459-31-9 represents a significant tool in integrated pest management programs for sustainable agriculture.

Application

Tioxazafen is engineered for high-performance nematode control in a variety of agricultural settings. Its key applications include:

• Seed Treatment Formulations: As a primary active ingredient in commercial seed treatment products for corn, soybean, and cotton.
• Soil Nematode Management: Targeting key parasitic nematodes such as root-knot, cyst, and lesion nematodes in field crops.
• Crop Protection Solutions: Integration into liquid or dry formulations for in-furrow or soil drench application methods.
• Agricultural Research & Development: Serving as a technical-grade material for the development and testing of new nematicidal products and mixtures.
