Helping farmers get the better of slugs before they get the best of new crops or pastures is not just a matter of good planning and preparation this spring. It also comes down to recommending the right product, nothing can compare to the reigning heavyweight champion SlugOut®. SlugOut combines both weatherability and palatability with a very high loading of active ingredient on the edible coating where slugs eat.

Once the damage is visible, it’s often too late to do much about it and slugs can make a mess of newly sown crops or pastures in a matter of days. Drilling seed without baiting can be very risky, and when farm incomes are under pressure, it’s just not worth the loss of newly germinated crop or grass seedlings.

FAR trials show SlugOut delivers two to three times more baits per square metre than other slug baits. When this is combined with a faster kill, farmers can rely on it for peace of mind in both moderate and high pressure situations.

At the recommended label rate of 10 kg per ha, FAR trials show SlugOut has 112 bait points per sq metre, which is much higher than other baits with the same active ingredient. Recommending farmers use SlugOut will usually give the best results.

An important change for end users this season is the launch of a new 500 kg bag which will make slug control even easier for large scale sowing jobs and if you purchase 5T between now and the end of November you will qualify for a Stocks Ag Fan Jet Pro, (Vario-Speed Control) Spreader valued at $3,500*.
