A ready-for-use, pelleted bait for the reduction of slug and snail damage in agricultural and horticultural crops.

Contains metaldehyde 3% w/w.

RATE OF APPLICATION
The maximum total dose must not exceed 23 kg of product/ha/year. In high risk situations, where additional treatments against slugs are necessary beyond the permissible 700 g. metaldehyde/ha/year total dose, use an alternative slug control product not containing metaldehyde.

Slug Trapping
To establish the need for pellet application on winter wheat or winter oilseed rape, monitor for slug activity. Where bait traps are used, use a foodstuff attractive to slugs e.g. chicken layers' mash which has proven to be particularly effective. DO NOT use slug pellets in traps since they are a potential hazard to wildlife and pets. Details of the correct
baiting procedure are provided in the ‘COMPANY ADVISORY INFORMATION’ section of this label.

Important
a. Complete control of slugs/snails is difficult to achieve with any type of molluscicide so some crop loss may occur especially in wet seasons. Best control is achieved by a programme of good husbandry (see COMPANY ADVISORY INFORMATION) and properly timed applications of a pellet bait such as ‘ENZO’.
b. The first application of ENZO is usually made as a preventative measure as specified in the APPLICATION table. Follow-up applications may be required, especially in wet seasons. Assessment by test baiting will indicate when slugs are active at the soil surface and if conditions are suitable for further ENZO treatment.
c. Late application of pellets to broad-leaved plants may result in lodging of the pellets in foliage. Care should be taken to avoid this when making applications to edible crops, e.g. lettuce and cabbage. In cabbage and cauliflower apply prior to hearting or curd formation.
d. AVOID application if heavy rain is expected, as this may reduce effectiveness of the pellets.
e. Best results are obtained when slugs and snails are actively feeding, generally following a period of light rain in mild conditions. Where a heavy attack is likely to occur, re-apply 2-3 weeks later or whenever test baiting shows it to be necessary.
