The exploration of novel, environmentally friendly, and efficient nematicides is essential, and modifying natural biomacromolecules is one feasible approach. In this study, 6-O-(trifluorobutenyl-oxadiazol)-chitosan oligosaccharide derivative was synthesized and characterized by FTIR, NMR, and TG/DTG. Its bioactivity and action mode against root-knot nematode M. incognita were estimated. The results show that the derivative shows high nematicidal activity against J2s, and egg hatching inhibitory activity at 1 mg/mL. The derivative may affect nematode ROS metabolism and further damage intestinal tissue to kill nematode. Meanwhile, by synergism with improving crop resistance, the derivative performed a high control effect on the nematode with low phytotoxicity. These findings suggested that chitosan oligosaccharide derivatives bearing fluoroalkenyl groups are promising green nematicides.
