It’s a slug.

Slugs, also called slugs, are a common terrestrial mollusk that looks like a snail without a shell, and its body surface is moist and filled with mucus. In agricultural production, slugs are an agricultural pest, especially in greenhouse production areas, and are highly resistant to drug and insecticides.

The harm of slugs

1. Slugs eat a lot. During the peak period of slug outbreaks, they may eat large areas of crop leaves overnight. For leafy vegetables, holes directly affect the appearance of the product.

2. Slugs also feed on young fruits, causing scars on the surface of the fruits after gnawing, which can reduce the number of commercial fruits in summer, or cause a reduction in production in severe cases.

3. Slugs eat a large number of tender stems and leaves, resulting in a reduction in leaf area, resulting in a decrease in photosynthesis and affecting the normal production of crops. At the same time, a large amount of mucus will be left in the place where it crawls, which will block the stomata of the crop and reduce the breathability and breathing ability of the crop.

4. After slugs eat crops, they will cause wounds on the stems and leaves, which are easily infected by various harmful bacteria and cause diseases.
