GENERAL INFORMATION
Dusk is a highly effective slug and snail killer. The pellet contains
iron, which is bound into a complex. Once slugs
and snails have fed on the pellet, the iron is released from its bound
form in the gut, and is uniquely toxic to slugs
and snails. Dusk is safe to use, and is safe around animals, pets and
birds. It does not harm earthworms. Dusk
granules are optimally sized to allow for effective ground coverage
for enhanced crop protection.
As Dusk does not work through paralysis, slugs and snails move away
after feeding. There may therefore be no
dead slugs or snails visible after use.
Dusk can be used around seedlings or established plants in agriculture
and horticulture.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Broadcast: Use 15 kg/ha. Application can be made before, during or
after sowing. Apply evenly over the ground
surface. For band application along rows, apply as close as possible
to the plants. Application is best made after
rain or irrigation when slugs and snails become more active. Do not
apply onto edible plant parts.
Drilling with seed: Use 10 kg/ha. Apply through the granule applicator
hopper or mixed in with the seed. Only use
where the drill leaves an open slot allowing slugs access to the
baits. Otherwise broadcast the baits as above.
When stored appropriately this product should show no significant
degradation for 2 years from the date of
manufacture. Contact your supplier for further information about the
