So whilst this process is going on somebody has to check which stage the nematodes are at in their life cycle. Heavy applications of farmyard manure and other composts can encourage slugs, and so inorganic fertilizers should be used where slugs are a problem. Start your control regime early and you will be able to target the young slugs growing under the ground feeding on humus. If your seeds do not seem to have germinated, it is possible that slugs have devoured the emerging seedlings underground. The best time is in the early morning or evening because the nematodes are sensitive to ultraviolet rays.

Young slugs tend to stay underground, feeding on decaying organic matter, developing unseen, and waiting for young seedlings to be planted. The Large Red slug and Black slug ( Arion ater) are either orange-red or black with an orange fringe.Composting is the process by which plant material is heaped together to rot (decompose) to produce compost. Slug collars - plastic rings with a lip to make crossing it difficult, placed around individual plants such as lettuce. Scientific name: Various species, most common are species in the Milacidae, Deroceras and Arion spp. There are many control options available for slugs and snail but despite this they remain a persistent pest.

To keep them viable, they have to be kept at 5˚C/40˚F, not allowed to freeze and kept out of sunlight. Dragonfli Slug Killer Nematodes are a biological molluscicide containing invective juveniles of Phasmarhabditis sp. Apply Nemaslug Slug Killer 6 weeks before harvest, when the tubers are most likely to be eaten by slugs. As it moves, it secretes mucus which helps it glide across a surface by rhythmic waves of contraction. Nemaslug® works at temperatures above 5c/40f, so apply UNDERGLASS all year round OR apply OUTDOORS during the growing season i.

It is a larger slug than the grey field slug and scientists found that this slug was able to trap invading nematodes by increasing its shell size. As of March 2021 there is only one type of slug pellet approved for use in gardens, those based the active ingredient ferric phosphate. Like life and nature, of course it is more complicated than simply pouring nematode worms onto the soil to kill slugs. How can gardeners use ‘Integrated Pest Management’ techniques to get better control of damaging gastropods?

They lay a batch of about 80 spherical pearly-white eggs into crevices in the topsoil or sheltered under stones.Use the whole pack before the expiry date, which is marked on the inside of the pack and will be at least a couple of weeks.

Then the water content of the medium has to be adjusted so that the nematodes become partly dehydrated and immobile.

Nematodes are a commonly used biological control for many plant pests , microscopic beneficial nematodes (eel worms) which are watered into pots, trays or open ground. Thanks for the question and snails are much harder to kill than slugs but the nematodes will work especially on the young snails, so keep applying them and as the older snails die / are predated on, if there are less young snails, then your numbers will decrease.
