“…It is important that these three compounds did not demonstrate phytotoxicity to the rape plants. Similar results on the lack of phytotoxicity or low level of phytotoxicity of methiocarb and metaldehyde have been obtained by other authors (Gould 1962;Ester and Nijën-stein 1995, 1996a, 1996bWatkins et al 1996;Nijënstein and Ester 1998;Simms et al 2002).…”

“…These compounds are registered in many countries of Europe for use against slugs on plant crops. Results from our own studies and those of other authors suggest that these compounds may be of potential importance as sprays, and above all, as treatments for seeds of rape, wheat and other cultivated plants (Gould 1962;Ester and Nijënstein 1995;1996a, 1996bEster 1996;Watkins et al 1996;Nijën-stein and Ester 1998;Iglesias et al 2002;Simms et al 2002;Port and Ester 2002;Schüder et al 2004;Kozłowski et al 2008). Although according to the decision of the European Commission, it will only be possible to use metaldehyde until 31, December 2010.…”

“…It is active against birds (Crocker and Reid 1993;Gill et al 1994) and mammals . Research on the activity of cinnamamide, used in the form of seed dressings, has demonstrated a strong reduction in slug grazing on treated plants (Watkins et al 1996;Simms et al 2002;Schüder et al 2003Schüder et al , 2004.

“…In recent years there have been studies of numerous new molluscicides acting on slugs as repellents, deterrents and antifeedants. These new molluscicides which come in spray form (Barone and Frank 1999;Schüder et al 2004), pelleted baits (Clark et al 1997) or seed dressings (Scott et al 1977;Charlton 1978;Ester 1996;Ester and Nijënstein 1995, 1996a, 1996bWatkins et al 1996;Nijënstein and Ester 1998;Simms et al 2002) have been tested against slugs.…”

“…The most promising of the studied substances were cinnamamide, 3.5-dimethoxycinnamic acid (DMCA), copper ammonium carbonate, ureaformaldehyde (Watkins et al 1996;Simms et al 2002;Schüder et al 2002Schüder et al , 2003Schüder et al , 2004, azadirachtin, carvone, limonene (Ester and Nijën-stein 1995;Port and Ester 2002;Frank et al 2002), geraniol (Barone and Frank 1999), acetylacetonate, chelates of aluminium, iron and copper (Moens et al 1992) and pesticides such as thiodicarb, thiocyklam, bromoxynil and ioxynil (Nijënstein and Ester 1998). Most of these compounds reduced slug grazing on plants, but were not suitable as molluscicides in view of their phytotoxicity and lack of stability.…”

Spray forms of various chemical compounds including compounds of plant origin, molluscicides, and insecticides were tested in order to investigate their possibilities for reducing damage to young rape plants caused by the slug Arion lusitanicus Mabille, 1868. Among them, abamectin (0.2%), methiocarb (0.5%) and metaldehyde (1.0%) reduced damage to the plants, although metaldehyde remained active for only nine days. These three chemical compounds were not phytotoxic to rape plants, and none of them proved lethal to the slugs at the concentration used. The reduction in rape plant damage was obtained as a result of their deterrent and/or antifeedant action. The results indicate that abamectin has high potential usefulness in protecting winter rape seedlings from slugs.

Slugs are major pests of oilseed rape that are poorly controlled by conventional bait pellets. A series of laboratory experiments investigated the potential of seed-dressings to control slug damage in this crop. Four compounds: metaldehyde, methiocarb, cinnamamide and 3,5-dimethoxycinnamic acid (DMCA) were tested at a range of doses for phytotoxicity and ability to reduce damage by Deroceras reticulatum (Müller). Metaldehyde and methiocarb were not phytotoxic at any doses, whereas all doses of cinnamamide and DMCA were. All compounds reduced slug damage, but metaldehyde and methiocarb consistently performed better than cinnamamide and DMCA. Metaldehyde and methiocarb seed-dressings were compared with baited pellets containing the same active ingredients at recommended field doses. The seed-dressings protected plants from damage by D reticulatum and Arion subfuscus (Draparnaud) as well as, or better than, baited pellets. We therefore recommend that metaldehyde and methiocarb should be field-tested as seed dressings to control slugs in oilseed rape.

The behavioural response of the slug Deroceras panormitanum (Lessona and Pollonera) and the snail Oxyloma pfeifferi (Rossmässler) to novel molluscicides was investigated in choice and no-choice experiments. Low-light video-recording in combination with automated tracking and event recording was used to identify the repellent and irritant effects of (1) cinnamamide, (2) copper ammonium carbonate, (3) a mulch, (4) a horticultural ground-cover matting impregnated with a copper formulation and (5) urea/formaldehyde. In the no-choice experiments the products had a stronger irritant effect on the snails than on the slugs. All products tested except the mulch significantly reduced the locomotor activity of both the slugs and snails. The most effective product, cinnamamide, reduced snail locomotor activity by 94% and track length by 96%. The overall repellent effect of the treatments in the choice experiments was stronger in the slugs; where presence, locomotor activity and track length in the treated area were significantly reduced by all products. The avoidance of treated areas exceeded 95% with the mulch (for slugs) and with copper ammonium carbonate (for snails).
