• High quality durable pellets ensuring the maximum possible period of crop protection
• Unique formulation only available from Bayer
• Effective against all slugs including large black and keeled slugs

Getting the best from Draza forte

Timing of application is critical to achieving the best results with Draza forte. For potatoes, just before canopy closure is often the ideal time for first slug bait application. Further applications in August and September may be required, depending on the expected lifting date and slug activity.

For wheat, the most cost-effective time to apply Draza forte is between drilling and crop emergence to prevent grain hollowing. However, you should continue to monitor the crop until tillering, as a subsequent application may be required. For oilseed rape, the critical time to apply Draza forte is immediately after crop emergence to protect small plants, but you should continue to monitor the crop until four true leaves, as a further application may be required.

Use field history, cropping and test baiting to determine risk and use in conjunction with good agronomic methods such as rolling.

Important things to remember

• Don’t apply Draza forte within 6 metres of field margins
• Don’t apply in windy weather
• In high risk situations, you may need to make a second application, especially if the previously applied pellets have been consumed

In high slug risk situations in wheat, use Draza forte (methiocarb) in conjunction with Deter seed treatment.
