Tioxazafen is Monsanto's new seed treatment nematicide that is designed to provide consistent broad spectrum control of nematodes in corn, soy, and cotton. This new nematicide has been found to exhibit excellent activity on soybean cyst, root knot, and reniform nematodes in soy, lesion, root knot, and needle nematodes in corn, and reniform and root knot nematodes in cotton. Tioxazafen belongs to the 3,5-disubstituted-1,2,4-oxadiazole class. This new class of nematicide chemistry has demonstrated equal or better performance in greenhouse and field trials vs. commercial standards. The talk will describe the discovery process and review several aspects of the overall development program.
