A study of the effects of ground cover on overwintering slug populations and effect of coulter design on slug incidence in direct drilling : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science at Massey University [PDF]
A two stage study involving the effect of vegetation cover on overwintering slug populations, and the effect of coulter design on slug incidence and damage in a direct drilled cereal was carried out during the 1980/81 growring season.
