The juvenile stage of the slug creates the most damage to crops and its voracious appetite can be devastating for farmers who have had a history of slug problems. Upon hatching in mid-to-late May, the slug will begin feeding on anything that is planted in the field, whether it’s corn, soybeans or alfalfa. Slug feeding can cause significant re Students and faculty will now be able to view livestock behav ior and monitor associated phys iological status indicators in real time. The information will also be simultaneously archived for later viewing or analysis. This video system is necessary since space for large groups of students on the College’s farm facilities is limited. The presence of more than a handful of stu dents is also disruptive to the livestock. Currently, a few movable video cameras are used to record livestock activity and breeding. n RENT Tim QUALITY HAY EQUIPMENT NH 256 Rake, New Paint $l,BOO NH 489 Haybine, 9 Ft Cut, Very Nice.... 52,600 Hesston 540 Round Baler, 4x4 Bales, .

We want them to realize that the potential is there for slugs to be out there,” said Hammond. He said the best management practice to control slugs is to plant early. “The earlier a farmer can plant his crops the better. The plants have a better chance of outgrowing the damage done by slug feeding if they can get a head start before eggs hatch.” Earlier planted crops like corn usually have the most suc cess in escaping any serious damage from slug feeding. Soy beans, on the other hand, suffer the most damage if germination follows egg hatch. “Slugs can take out the plant before a grower ever sees the crop,” said Hammond. If soybean farmers are finding a lot of slugs in their fields, are planting in late May or June, and have had a history of stand losses because of slugs, they might want to consider applying a molluscicide at or following planting.
