Goal: Slug Control
Location: Costa Rica
Pest: Slug
Methodology
4 treatments were evaluated, of different concentrations of the Ovex product:
1.25cc / L, 2.5cc / L, 3.75cc / L and 5cc / L.
In addition, there was a Control without treatment. The study was carried out as follows:
The eggs were exposed to conditions of 20ºC of temperature and a humidity of 80% (ideal factors for incubation to be 2 to 3 weeks maximum).
Controls were carried out at 8, 15 and 22 days of incubation.
Results
Conclusions
- The highest doses, 750 cc / 200 L and 1 L / 200L showed the greatest effectiveness in eliminating the viability of the eggs exposed to Ovex
- Ovex has a potential for the control of mollusks, such as slugs.
- It is necessary to carry out a revalidation of the data obtained.
- Consider the possibility of mixing with Bemix to improve the efficacy of the product under evaluation, before conducting field tests.
