Nematodes are killed by which type of pesticide?

Explanation:
Nematodes are plant-parasitic worms that live in soil, so the pesticide class used to kill them is nematicides. This category is specifically formulated to target nematodes, unlike other pesticide groups that target different pests. Insecticides are for insects, molluscicides (for slugs and snails) are for mollusks, and rodenticides are for rodents. So nematicides are the appropriate choice for nematodes because they’re designed to control that particular pest type.
