Thirty years of slug control using the parasitic nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita and beyond

Pest Management Science, 2023
AbstractSeveral slug species are highly pestiferous and threaten global sustainable agriculture. Current control methods rely heavily on metaldehyde pellets, which are often ineffective, harm nontarget organisms and have been banned in some countries.

Molecular detection and quantification of slug parasitic nematodes from the soil and their hosts

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2019
Terrestrial gastropod molluscs are widely distributed and are well known as pests of many types of plants that are notoriously difficult to control. Many species of nematodes are able to parasitize land snails and slugs, but few of them are lethal to their host.

Spatiotemporal analysis of predation by carabid beetles (Carabidae) on nematode infected and uninfected slugs in the field.

PLoS ONE, 2013
The dynamics of predation on parasites within prey has received relatively little attention despite the profound effects this is likely to have on both prey and parasite numbers and hence on biological control programmes where parasites are employed. The

A discrete slug population model determined by egg production [PDF]

, 2002
Slugs are significant pests in agriculture (as well as a nuisance to gardeners), and it is therefore important to understand their population dynamics for the construction of efficient and effective control measures.

Dynamics of a structured slug population model in the absence of seasonal variation [PDF]

, 2006
We develop a novel, nonlinear structured population model for the slug Deroceras reticulatum, a highly significant agricultural pest of great economic impact, in both organic and non-organic settings. In the absence of seasonal variations, we numerically

Gastropod-Borne Helminths: A Look at the Snail-Parasite Interplay. [PDF]

, 2015
More than 300 million people suffer from a range of diseases caused by gastropod-borne helminths, predominantly flatworms and roundworms, whose life cycles are characterized by a diversified ecology and epidemiology. Despite the plethora of data on these

Possibilities of the Alternative Management of Mollusk Pests in Agricultural Crops. A Review. [PDF]

, 2021
Introduction: Mollusks are important pests of agricultural crops, for which chemical mosquitoes are used in many cases that pollute the environment and crops.

Organic slug control using Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita [PDF]

, 2006
Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita is a lethal slug parasitic nematode that has been formulated into an effective biological control agent called Nemaslug®. We investigated the possibility of using different application methods of P.

Slug Herbivory Induces Systemic Redox and Volatile Responses in Cabbage That Drive Chemotaxis of Slug-Parasitic Nematodes

Agronomy
Slug herbivory is an important but poorly explored driver of plant defence and belowground multitrophic interactions. This study examined how aboveground feeding by Arion vulgaris and Deroceras reticulatum affects oxidative status, photosynthetic ...

Integrated control of slug damage in organic vegetable crops- OF 0158 [PDF]

, 2002
Slugs are important pests of a wide range of organic vegetable crops, which are high quality products, desired by consumers. Slug problems are especially acute in comparison to conventional vegetable production because use of chemical control measures is
