  • BIOACTIVE PEPTIDES HAVING DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS ON PEST SLUGS
    Publication number: 20230309566
    Abstract: Provided herein are synthetic peptides developed from slug and insect neuropeptides. Peptides described can be used to repel, control or deter slugs, including the gray garden slug (Deroceras reticulatum), from feeding on agricultural and horticultural plants. The peptides can be combined with bait materials, or applied directly to plants or areas, or produced by genetically modified plants.
    Type: Application
    Filed: June 8, 2023
    Publication date: October 5, 2023
