Notes:
In a series of field trials during 1968–1970, 4 per cent methiocarb or 3 per cent metaldehyde baits, applied to plots before drilling winter wheat, effectively reduced the numbers of slugs found by various methods of trapping after treatment. In the dry conditions prevailing at most of the sites, there were few consistent differences between methiocarb and metaldehyde. Little grain damage occurred on the control plots at any of the sites as weather conditions after drilling did not favour slug activity. Small increases in plant stand were obtained on the treated plots but differences between treatments were not significant.
