Slugs are common pests of oilseed and cereal crops in Europe and are currently controlled using bait pellets that often fail to give adequate protection. Here we investigate the potential of the broad-spectrum insecticide imidacloprid, previously suggested to have activity against slugs, to control slug damage to oilseed rape and winter wheat. In a series of laboratory experiments, imidacloprid seed...
Previous studies have shown that seed dressing with methiocarb or metaldehyde can protect newly emerged oilseed rape seedlings from slug damage. Here, we document two mini-plot field experiments testing these seed dressings. Both metaldehyde and methiocarb significantly reduced slug damage compared with untreated control seeds, but both seed dressings performed less well to the metaldehyde bait pellets...
