Endure Slug Bait

Physical Description:

Contains 50 grams / kg metaldehyde in the form of an oval homogenous durum wheat bait pellet with bright green dye.

   


Uses:

Endure is used exclusively for the control of slugs and snails in many different situations. Most commonly used in vegetable transplants, conservation tillage programmes for new crops / pasture and broadcast over cereals and small seed crops. Usually spread with fertiliser prior to sowing or direct drilling but can be applied at drilling or as a broadcast application after sowing. 


Benefits:

  • Stronger – 50g/kg metaldehyde compared to 18g/kg for many other metaldehyde products. 
  • Visible – Baits are clearly visible in the paddock weeks after application.
  • Endurable – Baits are very weather resistant and swell when wet but dry hard. Baits are active for up  to 21 days in the field. 
  • Spreadable –Baits are identical in shape, size and density which provides an excellent spread pattern and is compatible with Ravensdown Fertilisers. 
  • Mixable – Endure is available at selected Ravensdown Stores and is usually mixed at 4 – 8 Kgs per hectare providing 240,000 – 480,000 bait points per hectare.  
  • Accessible – Endure is available 24 / 7 by ordering through the Ravensdown Customer Centre and can be delivered free on farm within 3 – 5 working days. Endure is also available from selected Ravensdown Stores for collection or mixed with fertiliser.  

The uniformity and size of the bait has real advantages when broadcast  spreading either alone or when mixed with Lime, Super Phosphate, DAP, Cropmaster products or Urea, ensuring a very even spread. This size and uniformity is also ideal for drilling direct or where it is required to be mixed with fertiliser or with seed.

Each individual pellet is very robust and will not shatter or break easily which means no dust and is very user friendly when mixing and handling.  Endure is effective through contact, absorption and ingestion and is more active under moist conditions.  

There is no need to reapply after rain or sprinkler irrigation. 


Application:

Can be either be broadcast alone or can be mixed Ravensdown Fertiliser and broadcast through conventional spreading equipment. Endure can also be drilled or mixed with seed.


Withholding Period:
