[QUOTE="TelesnaAg, post: 3888024, member: 8059"] I will be doing the same...i swear the pre em favours the slug...anywhere sprayer missed the clover has pulled away from any slug damage...and when roaming around at night stuff all slugs in those areas.. At 13kg ha sowing rate there was enough plants that slugs could never keep up...im so wild with myself i never follwed my gut instinct and do it the way i wanted...had the agro out and they only learn by your mistakes...they have no fu*kin idea...all they know is sell chemical and sell bait...sell disease protection...its a merry go round trap...if ever there was a moment thats made me want to head down a more holistic farming style its this... In future i will inspect for slugs before season and if there is some...i will Mechanical harrow at night....then sow with harrow bar and small seedds box at night and get another kill... Also seding in rows is not the way to go as slugs work the most effeciently when you line all there food up in a row...they kill more than if they had to wander to every seed...in that time crop would get a way... Not a lesson im in the mood of learning but i have learnt alot that will serve me well in future...balansa at $2 a kg i could have laid it on so thick that slugs would never keep up and my dirt would be healthier...i will be vary wary of any chemical that hits the dirt in future...a fungicide in wheat or barley i could probably stomach but anything that can hit the dirt needs scruitnising... A cambridge roller needs to be added to my equipment list as well... Ant... [/QUOTE]
