EXHIBITLINE Pc is a biological solution used for the management of slugs and snails in crops. It contains an entomopathogenic nematode that naturally occurs in the soil. As living organisms, the nematodes actively search for, infect and kill slugs in a few days. As an alternative to existing molluscicides, in addition to being very effective, the product does not harm the beneficial fauna, crops and vertebrates. It can be used easily with standard equipment without any constraints as it has no re-entry interval.

Key Features

  • Natural alternative to standard products: EXHIBITLINE Pc is naturally present in soil
  • Actively hunts for target: nematodes move towards the slugs to infect and kill them
  • Rapid crop protection: infected slugs stop feeding within a few days
  • Long-lasting effect: self-propagates in the field
  • Easy application: can be applied with standard spraying or watering equipment
  • 100% natural formulation leaving no harmful residues
  • Sustainable use: no known resistance development
  • Flexible in use: can be used as long as soil temperature is > 12°C
  • No constraints during application, no re-entry interval
  • Safe to the environment, beneficial organisms and applicators

Main uses

EXHIBITLINE Pc targets only slugs and snails, and thus is safe for beneficial organisms and applicators.

How It Works

EXHIBITLINE Pc contains infective juveniles of Phasmarhabditis californica, a nematode species that actively seeks out and kills slugs and snails. They enter the pest body through natural openings. Once inside they stop the slug from feeding. The slug eventually dies approximately one week after infection depending on exposure rate and environmental conditions. The cadaver provides a food source for the reproducing nematodes; hence they grow and reproduce, resulting in several generations that disperse in search of further prey. Evidence of infection in some slug species appears as a swollen mantle.     EXHIBITLINE Pc targets only slugs and snails, and thus is safe for beneficial organisms and applicators. The nematodes are living organisms that naturally live in the soil and they move in the thin film of water present between the soil particles. Having similar moisture requirements to their prey further enhances their suitability for slug and snail control.

Handling & Storage

For best results, nematodes should be used as soon as they are received. However, if it is not possible to apply them quickly, they can be stored in their original, unopened packaging at between 2 and 6°C, out of direct sunlight, until the date shown on the packaging.
