PP 1/95 (4) Slugs

Specific scope The Standards PP 1/95 Slugs on vegetables, strawberry and ornamentals and PP 1/96 Slugs in field crops have been merged into one and revised. The number PP 1/95 is used for this new Standard, which describes the conduct of trials for the efficacy evaluation of molluscicides against slugs on field and horticultural crops, including details on appropriate extrapolations between crops and slug species and to home garden use (Appendix 1). This Standard also describes methodologies on additional assessments that provide useful information on pelleted bait quality: impact on pellet integrity during application via commercial machinery (Appendix 2); generating data to support any product label claims relating to the ‘shower’ or ‘rain’ proof qualities (Appendix 3). The Standard does not cover snail species. Specific approval and amendment First approved in 1985–09. Revision approved in 2001–09. Revision approved in 2015–09.
