摘要
Two techniques for comparing the activity of different contact poisons to slugs in controlled conditions were used to measure the relative toxicities of five substances. A laboratory immersion test rated their median lethal concentrations as follows: ioxynil 8·3 ppm, sodium pentachlorophenate 22·0 ppm, copper sulphate 68·1–75·3 ppm, acetaldehyde 4822·0 ppm. Metaldehyde gave inconsistent results with this method but, using a dry‐contact method, metaldehyde (42370 ppm) was much less toxic than copper sulphate (2027 ppm). The materials giving practical control in the field were not the most toxic of those tested. Copyright © 1968, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
