CASSAVA Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Description
Sincocin is the trade name of the mixture registered in 1997 as “Plant Extract 620” with the U.S. EPA. It consists of a blend of extracts from the prickly pear Opuntia lindheimeri, the oak Quercus falcata, the sumac Rhus aromatica, and the mangrove Rhizophora mangle. Sincocin has provided control of the citrus nematode on orange roots (34), the reniform nematode on sunflower (35), and the sugarbeet cyst nematode (36); but control of M. incognita on cassava and R. similis on anthurium was less successful than that provided by other methods (37,38). Its mode of action has not been fully elucidated.
Pharmacology
In general, nematode developmental stages that are active are more susceptible to nematicides than are resting stages (12,39). The detailed 20-year-old review by Wright (40) on nematicidal mode of action remains relevant because few new nematicides have been introduced since its publication. Moreover, the broad-spectrum activity of most nematicides has resulted in much of their basic biochemical effects being documented in insects or mammals instead of nematodes.
