Abstract
The saturated aliphatic alcohols are relatively weak pesticides and still have not received practical use in this field. However, the activity of the alcohols is somewhat higher than that of the hydrocarbons. The physiological activity of the alcohols toward various species of organisms increases with increasing molecular weight, but after reaching a certain size it decreases. Thus, the maximum for fungicidal activity is reached at undecyl and dodecyl alcohols. The sprouting of potatoes is most effectively inhibited by nonyl and decyl alcohols.
