ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A novel nematocidally-active chitin-protein complex is prepared from crustacean shell waste material. The complex is different from both chitin and chitisan, in respect of its Lowry protein content, its solubility properties, its IR spectrum, the acetyl content of its water-insoluble demineralized chitin component, and the amino acid composition of its water-insoluble protein component. The complex is in the form of dry particles having a diameter of less than 0.5 mm. It has useful nematostatic and nematocidal activity for agricultural and horticultural applications by admixing nematocidally-effective amounts thereof with a plant growth medium. The complex also provides a source of nitrogen in slow-release form, making it particularly suitable for combination with fertilizers, and soil conditioners.
