Features
Effective against Golden Apple Snails, Field Slugs, Garden Snails, Brown Garden Snails, White Snails, and other crop-damaging mollusks.
Acts mainly as a bait molluscicide with stomach and contact activity. After feeding or contact, snails and slugs show excessive mucus secretion, reduced movement, dehydration, and death.
Mainly suitable for rice, cabbage, leafy vegetables, cereals, oilseed crops, fruit orchards, vineyards, ornamentals, nurseries, and other snail- or slug-prone areas.
