The number of living and dead larvae, 1,3-dioxolan-2-yl-phenyl, 1,3-dithiolan-2-yl-phenyl, adults and eggs are evaluated after 2 to 7 days under a 50 (4,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)-phenyl, 3-(1-methyl stereoscopic microscope. During the "interim', the butyl)-phenyl, 2-sec.butylphenyl, 3-(1-ethylpropyl)- treated plants are kept in greenhouse compartments at phenyl, 2,3-xylyl, 3-tert.butylphenyl, 3-sec.butylphe 25°C. nyl, 3,5-diisopropylphenyl, 2-chloro-5-isopropylphe The compounds according to Example 1 were active nyl, 3,5-dimethyl-4-methoxyphenyl, 4-(methyl-propar in the above test against eggs, larvae and adults of 5 gylamino)-3,5-xylyl, 4-(methyl-a-chloroallylamino)- Tetranychus urticae. 3,5-xylyl, 2-(ethyl-propargylamino)phenyl, 2-chloro 4,5-dimethylphenyl, 2-(2-propynyloxy)-phenyl, 3-(2- EXAMPLE 7 propynyloxy)-phenyl, 2-dimethylaminophenyl, 2-dial Action against soil nematodes lylaminophenyl, 3-methyl-4-dimethylaminome To test the action against soil nematodes, the active 60 thyleneiminophenyl, 3-dimethylaminome substance (in the concentration indicated in each case thyleneiminophenyl, 3-isopropyl-4-methylthiophenyl, is applied to and intimately mixed with soil infected 2-(methylpropargylamino)-phenyl, 2-(dipropar with root gall nematodes (Meloidgyne Avenaria). Im gylamino)-phenyl, 4-(dipropargylamino)-3-tolyl, 4-(di mediately afterwards, tomato cuttings are planted in propargylamino)-3,5-xylyl, 2-(allylisopropylamino)- the thus prepared soil in a series of tests and after a 65 phenyl, 3-(allyl-isopropylamino)-phenyl, 3-methox waiting time of 8 days tomato seeds are sown in another ymethoxyphenyl, 2-cyclopentylphenyl, 2-(1-butyn test series. 3-yl-oxy)-phenyl or 2-(1-methoxy-2-propoxy)-phenyl, In order to assess the nematocidal action, the galls and Ra, R., Rs, Rs, R, represent radicals which are the 3,941,829 63 same or different, selected from hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine or bromine atoms, or methyl, methoxy, meth ylthio, trifluoroethyl, ethylpropyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, allyloxy, propargyloxy or ON groups. 3.
