The Ironmax Pro 3 kg package is the optimal choice for the active gardener who needs to protect larger greenhouses, vegetable patches, or ornamental gardens from voracious snails and slugs. This is an effective and ready-to-use toxic bait with the active ingredient ferric phosphate, a compound occurring in nature. The pellets are suitable for use in organic farming.
The product works discreetly: the blue pellets entice slugs to eat them, after which the mollusks’ digestive system becomes blocked. The pests retreat into the soil and perish there. This prevents unsightly slime trails on the harvest and between garden beds. The product can be used on a wide range of crops, from tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers to sugar beets, strawberries, and grasses.
Instructions for use and cultivation:
-
Application rate: 70 g of product covers an area of 100 m². The maximum annual rate for the same crop is 280 g / 100 m².
-
Application: Spread the pellets on the soil surface around the plants so that they do not remain on the leaves. Use protective gloves for clean and consistent results.
-
Timing: Repeat the procedure if the pellets have been eaten or if a new generation of slugs appears, but maintain an interval of at least 5 days between applications.
-
Safety: Avoid the product entering surface water or drains. Store the product separately from food and animal feed.Use plant protection products safely. Always read the label and product information before use.
Tips and recommendations:
-
Do not pour the pellets into small piles; instead, scatter them evenly around the plants – this significantly increases the probability that a moving slug will reach the bait.
-
Store the product in its original packaging in a cool, dry place to ensure the pellets do not lose their consistency and effectiveness due to moisture.
