Granular Molluscicide 29.70g/kg Ferric Phosphate

This premium professional slug bait is made as durable granules, for use on amenity vegetation, edible crops and non-edible crops. It gives dependable protection against slug damage across a wide range of planting situations.

Key Features

• Active ingredient disrupts the slug's calcium metabolism once the bait has been eaten
• Slugs stop feeding quickly, become less mobile and usually die within 3 to 6 days
• Because feeding stops soon after the bait is eaten, crop and plant damage is reduced almost straight away
• Granules are highly resistant to wet weather and stay effective after rain
• Can keep controlling slugs for up to seven days, maintaining protection in difficult conditions

How to Use

Where to use

This molluscicide has on-label approval for:

• Amenity vegetation
• All edible crops
• All non edible crops

When to use

Apply straight after sowing or planting out. Slugs can be active all year round, so the best time to apply is when plants are most vulnerable to damage.

Application

• Spread evenly for the best results; slugs feed randomly and find food sources by chance.
• Apply at a rate of up to 7g/m2, with a maximum of four applications per year.
• If rain is heavy or continuous, or slug damage carries on, a repeat treatment can be made as soon as seven days after the previous application.
