Snails in the field are small in size and slow in movement. They seem harmless, but in reality, they are highly damaging pests. They like to climb on vegetable leaves and fruit trees and eat the leaves and fruit, causing concave pits on the surface of the fruit and missing sections on the leaves. The slime secreted by snails not only contaminates the fruit but also easily induces various diseases such as soft rot and wilt, causing leaf rot and fruit decay.
In the rainy season, the humidity in the fields increases. This is the favorite environment for snails. After rain, snails, slugs, and other mollusks often appear in groups, harming various cucurbits, fruit trees, and vegetables, reducing crop quality and yield.
As May approaches, it is the peak season for snails to feed. The urgent task is to do a good job in snail prevention and control. So, how to prevent and control these pests that secrete mucus and reduce their damage to crops?
It is recommended that growers spread 6~9kg/ha of Youda evenly in fruit trees, leafy vegetables, and rice fields. For fruit trees, the granules of Youda can also be glued to the back of transparent adhesive tape and bound to the trunk to form protection belt, preventing snails from climbing up the tree and damaging leaves and fruit.
