Summary
Successful development of EC chlorothalonil formulations and niclosamide for snail control will give growers new options for combined control of snails and their eggs. Identifying which bloodworm species attack rice during later crop establishment will allow more effective control procedures directed towards target species to be developed, whilst avoiding unnecessary impacts on biodiversity. Additional data on imidacloprid will allow development of this treatment to commercial trial stage.
