[QUOTE="Breakthru, post: 8129666, member: 15664"] Slugs are not a problem. Breakthru foliar feed has the same effect on them as salt but unlike salt has the opposite effect of helping the crop. Number of ways of using it, along with glypho pre-harvest on WW and OSR where the seed is covered. This means the straw is covered and gives them nowhere to hide. Pre em along with herbicides. In OSR we have anecdotal evidence it has the same effect on CSFB. They come in have a nibble then move on as nowhere to hide either in trash or straw. ( We don't have the severe problem you do and these are observations by customers hundreds of miles away). Can be used in conjunction with other Agchems so cutting the need for individual passes other than in patch spraying. Had a few problems early on with free carbs and bicarbs in the South water neutralising it but have the system sorted. This order, Reactor ( conditioner) Agchem, Breakthru then Anchor to make it stick either to straw or to avoid it moving down the soil profile too quickly after rain. Obviously many generics so try some in a bucket first to confirm compatibility. 1kg /ha at £55/5kg plus Reactor and Anchor. Certainly not going to break the bank to try some. We have large customers who buy it by the pallet for use on new rented ground. Users find slug numbers reduce to acceptable levels. PS you can marinade worms in it and they just wriggle off into the distance. Try chucking a slug in, doesn't move far. As far as the CSFB is concerned we follow up at egg laying time with the garlic mix which takes out the nematodes migrating to the stems. Need to put out yellow traps to get the timing right, occasionally twice in mild autumns. [/QUOTE]
