TECHTALK AppLicAtion

TECHTALK
DEADLINE® molluscicide with DB27 attractant sets the
standard for fast and effective control of slugs and snails
in field, fruit and vegetable crops. Producers can rely
on consistent, enduring and rain-fast protection that
maintains high crop quality and yields.
Application
Apply DEADLINE as a soil surface treatment using
ground equipment, unless otherwise specified on
the label. Do not apply directly to edible portions
of the plant or mix with seed prior to application.
Attractive, Effective and
Long-Lasting
DEADLINE comes in two formulations—Deadline M-Ps™
and DEADLINE Bullets.™
DEADLINE M-Ps are ideal for open field use because
the pellets contain blue dye for high visibility, enabling
producers to monitor coverage and consumption. Dyefree DEADLINE Bullets are excellent for applications in
berries and vegetable crops.
Formulated with a mold-inhibitor, both products
effectively control slugs at low-use rates even during
cool, wet conditions that slow crop growth, increase
slug activity and destroy other baits. Additionally, both
formulations contain our exclusive DB27 attractant
system that lures slugs and snails toward the bait.
Active Ingredient
Formulated with 4 percent metaldehyde and a modeof-action that destroys mucus-producing systems,
DEADLINE sets the standard for effective slug and
snail control.
DEADLINE offers effective control of snails and
slugs. For best results, apply in evenings, every
three to four weeks during growing season. See
label for maximum number of treatments per crop
per season. DEADLINE is especially beneficial if
applied after rain or watering.
