Background
Slug Pellets are used extensively to control slugs in agricultural and horticultural crop production. Sadly the active ingredient in slug pellets is now being detected in the environment and a major campaign is now beginning to rapidly improve the awareness of farmers and operators of how to both reduce the impact of this pesticide on the environment, but also improve the efficacy of slug control.
The seminar will cover:
Slug biology; Products available; Test baiting; Slug pellets and water; Product labels; Delivery, handling & storage of pellets; Appropriate PPE; Physical and Environmental Risk Assessment; Weather conditions & soil type; Calibration of the applicator; Field procedures and checking uniformity of spread; Applicator cleaning and storage.
