Abstract

Due to the slug's recent fast growth in Egyptian fields and development as a pest of horticultural and field plants, this study sought to focus on some of its biological characteristics in a lab setting over the course of four seasons with field control. In terms of the biological component, the findings indicated that the winter had higher pre-egg, egg quantity, incubation, and post-ovulation periods. while the spring had the greatest hatching rate of 95.1±0.47%. Even yet, the incubation period in the summer was the shortest at 12.26±0.40 days, while the longest was 35.2±0.98 days in the winter. The findings for containing this slug in a field showed that the fungicide (carbendazim 50% SC) generated a high mean mortality rate of 71.84±6.20% at the conclusion of the experiment. Additionally, it had a significant residual impact on slug aggregation, with a drop of (87.69±3.60%) in field circumstances. Therefore, using carbendazim as a molluscicide is advised.
