Survival and food choice of the grey field slug (Deroceras reticulatum) on three different seed types under laboratory conditions

Abstract: In Ireland, the grey field slug (Deroceras reticulatum) is the predominant slug pest species in arable crops. It can cause enormous damage, but the knowledge about its feeding biology is limited.
Adult species were reared under laboratory conditions, and the survival, feeding activity, and weight change of slugs when feed on maize, peas, or wheat seeds were investigated. An especially high mortality was experienced in the wheat treatment. It was hypothesised that the high mortality was due to a Fusarium specie… Show more

“…Both D. reticulatum and C. aspersum avoided 1‐octen‐3‐ol and 3‐octenone environments including food exposed to these compounds, presumably the VOCs inform the pests of food quality since many molds producing these VOCs also produce harmful toxins. Gebauer recorded high mortality in D. reticulatum fed wheat grain contaminated with Fusarium , a ubiquitous toxigenic fungus. Avoidance behavior has been reported for beetle and weevil pests of stored grain and parasitoids of the grain beetle larvae .…”

“…W ostatnich latach coraz częściej można je spotkać w uprawach roślin z rodziny bobowatych (Fabaceae), takich jak koniczyna czerwona (Trifolium pratense L.), groch siewny (Pisum sativum L.), lucerna siewna (Medicago sativa L.), soja [Glycine max (L.) Merr. ], łubin wąskolistny (Lupinus angustifolius L.), łubin żółty (L. luteus L.) i łubin biały (L. albus L.)

“…Ocenia się, że większość ekonomicznych szkód powodowanych przez ślimaki w pszenicy ozimej powstaje na skutek zniszczenia ziarna (Spaull i Eldon 1990;Glen i Moens 2002). Dotychczasowe badania nad uszkodzeniami nasion dotyczyły głównie ziarniaków pszenicy i konsekwencji tych uszkodzeń dla plonu roślin (Glen i Moens 2002) oraz porównania uszkodzeń nasion niektórych gatunków roślin (Gebauer 2002). Wysoka smakowitość roślin strączkowych dla ślimaków jest dobrze znana, a wyniki niektórych eksperymentów wskazują, że dotyczy to również nasion (Runham i Hunter 1970;Gebauer 2002).…”

“…The most important pests of the field bean are aphids (Aphididae), pea weevils (Curculionidae) and recently also slugs (Gastropoda: Arionidae, Agriolimacidae). With regard to the Fabaceae, research on risks and protection of plants against gastropod pests has focused primarily on lupin, clover, alfalfa, peas and other species of beans and vetch (south 1992, byers 2002, Gebauer 2002, Port & ester 2002, brooks et al 2003. No information has been found on the field bean, although our observations indicate considerable damage to the plant in areas with abundant slug populations.…”
