FAQs
With the presence of 2 specimens per square metre, a treatment is already justified. Slugs usually appear in patches, so targeted applications can often be carried out.
It depends on the pest level present. An average dose is 4 kg per hectare, but it is advisable to download the app for a more precise calculation.
The best time is 7 days before sowing or immediately afterwards. If there are many eggs, it is important to split applications to control both adults and juveniles.
They reproduce from eggs, and it is advisable to monitor each year to determine the need for control.
It depends on several factors such as climate, egg laying, and control practices. It is important to monitor every year.
The most severe damage occurs during crop emergence, when they compromise plant stand by feeding on cotyledons and young stems.
The use of baits is the most effective strategy.
Yes, the ants carry the bait into the nest, where control takes place. The efficacy depends on the dose used and the size of the nest.
Control is achieved through ingestion of the bait by the ants, spread by trophallaxis. Within 48 hours, up to 80% of the population is eliminated.
The bait should be placed on the trails, away from the nest entrance, to avoid saturating it with odour. If the aim is to prevent ants from entering the field, it can be broadcast around the perimeter.
It depends on monitoring: if the nests are geo-referenced, a targeted application can be made; if not, it can be broadcast across the whole field, with an average dose of 5 kg per hectare.
Yes, because liquids produce control that is too fast, which causes ants to release funeral pheromones and hide, whereas baits act more slowly, avoiding this problem and controlling only the problematic pests.
For Cibus BB, the average dose is 4 kg per hectare, although this depends on pest pressure, the crop, and timing. In situations of high pest pressure, split applications are recommended, monitoring 7 days before sowing and applying a complementary dose if necessary.
Within 48 hours it provides up to 80% control.
If the population is high, split applications can be carried out: one to reduce the adult population and another to control juveniles. The pest cannot be completely eradicated, but it can be managed to bring it down to acceptable levels.
