Uses of Limonene Derivatives involving chemical compositions of the quaternary ammonium type as derived from limonene, possess plant growth regulant, nematocidal and fungicidal properties. They are suitable for use at concentrations varying from as little as several parts per million parts of carrier, to as much as several thousand parts per million parts of carrier. Compositions useful in the present invention are exemplified by benzyl dimethyl (1-hydroxy-p-menth-8-en-2-yl) ammonium chloride, but many other compounds of somewhat different character are contemplated. |
