Notes: Fluensulfone is a fluoroalkenyl nematicide that inhibits mobility of P. penetrans, P. thornei, and X. index migratory nematodes when used at a concentration of 4 mg/L.{48038} It reduces the number of P. penetrans and P. thornei nematodes in soil when applied at a concentration of 2 mg/L before planting crops. Fluensulfone (1,200 mg/kg) is metabolized by the murine-specific cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform Cyp2f2 in mouse lung club cells and induces species-specific bronchiolar hyperplasias in mice.{48039} Formulations containing fluensulfone have been used to control nematode populations in agriculture.
