Molluscicidal beta -carboline carboxylic acids and methods using the same

摘要

Slug populations can be controlled in minimum or no-tillage methods of crop production using beta -carboline carboxylic acids. These compounds and their analogs can be formulated into slug bait compositions for use in erradication of these crop pests. The compositions are extremely effective at luring slugs from crop plants to the bait as well as killing them.
