Ironmax Pro 1 kg is a ready-to-use granulated molluscicide, or poison bait, specifically designed for controlling snails and slugs. It is a practical solution for vegetable, fruit, and ornamental gardens and is excellent for use in greenhouses. The product is safe and officially approved for use in organic farming.
The active ingredient is ferric phosphate (24.2 g/kg), which attracts pests. After consuming the pellets, slugs lose their appetite, retreat underground, and die there. Consequently, no visible dead snails or slime trails are left in the garden or beds. The product offers broad protection for various crops, including leafy vegetables, berries, herbs, and lawns. Note: The product’s effectiveness in controlling the Spanish slug (Arion lusitanicus) has not been proven.
Instructions for use and cultivation:
-
Application rate: The maximum amount per single application is 70 g / 100 m² (7 kg/ha). The product may be applied to one area up to 280 g / 100 m² per year.
-
Spreading: Scatter the pellets evenly on the ground by hand or use a mechanical spreader. Always wear protective gloves and clothing when handling the product.
-
Frequency: The interval between applications must be at least 5 days.

Safety: Ensure that the pellets do not land on plant leaves, flowers, or other above-ground parts. Keep out of reach of children and pets.Use plant protection products safely. Always read the label and product information before use.
Tips and recommendations:
-
For best results, start control early, at the very beginning of a mass appearance of pests, before plants are seriously damaged.
-
For annual crops (e.g., lettuce and radishes), it is most effective to scatter the pellets on soil already prepared for sowing before the plants emerge.
-
Perform control preferably in the evening or after rain, when snails and slugs are most active and moving around in search of food.
