Abstract
In laboratory tests the effectiveness against slugs and the phytotoxicity of several active ingredients were tested on wheat, barley and perennial ryegrass. For all species metaldehyde was the most effective active ingredient. Metaldehyde was not phytotoxic at the rates tested. The active ingredients thiocyclam hydrogen oxalate, methiocarb, bromoxynil, ioxynil, carvone, saponin, neem oil, (R)-limonene, and (S)-limonene were either less effective and/or more phytotoxic. Phytotoxicity was influenced by the germination sub strate. Only in one out of ten occasions phytotoxicity was observed. A coating agent improved the germination performance of the treated seeds.
