Natural slug controlling nematode set to aid crop protection

ExhibitLine Pc is a new nematode species from Bioline AgroSciences that complements the current offer of nematodes against slugs. It contains infective juveniles of Phasmarhabditis californica, which naturally occur in soils. ExhibitLine Pc serves as a biological solution for managing certain species of smaller slugs and snails in crops.

As living organisms, the nematodes actively search for, infect, and kill slugs within a few days. As an alternative to existing molluscicides, the product is not harmful to the beneficial fauna, crops, and vertebrates naturally found in soils. It can be easily used with standard equipment without any constraints.
