The invention relates to application of a nitrostyrolene compound in preventing, controlling or resisting
plant pathogenic nematodes and a preparation of the nitrostyrolene compound, and relates to the field of pesticides. The nitrostyrene compound is selected from the group consisting of beta-nitrostyrene, trans-nitrostyrene, trans-4-fluoro-beta-nitrostyrene, trans-4-bromo-beta-nitrostyrene, 4-methoxy-beta-nitrostyrene, trans-4-(2-nitrovinyl) cyanobenzene, 1-(3-fluorophenyl)-2-
nitroethylene, (E)-1-fluoro-2-(2-nitrovinyl) and one or more of
benzene. The nitrostyrene compound shows excellent insecticidal activity on
plant root-knot nematodes and
pine wood nematodes, has the advantages of simple structure, easiness in synthesis,
good control effect and the like, and has a good application prospect in the aspect of controlling root-knot
nematode diseases and
pine wood nematode diseases. The compound can be applied to development of novel
pesticide preparations for killing root-knot nematodes and
pine wood nematodes.
