Client: Grains Research and Development Corporation
Project partner: Southern Farming Systems
Project delivery period: 2013-2014
In this project IPM Technologies conducted on-farm trials across western Victoria (Inverleigh to Hamilton) to demonstrate best practice to achieve control of slugs in canola crops. An existing set of pest management options including cultural and chemical (baiting) methods were demonstrated on commercial farms with collaborating growers. Field days were held at key times to show the results of the control methods to farmers and agronomists.
