Abstract

In this study, we evaluated the nematicidal activity of natural ester compounds against the pine wood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, to identify candidates for the development of novel, safe nematicides. We also tested the nematicidal activity of synthesized analogues of these ester compounds to determine the structure–activity relationship. Among 28 ester compounds tested, isobutyl 2-methylbutanoate, 3- ...
