    Look for damage when the grass is coming up, there will be a lot of damaged plants if there a problem

    Seems to be more of a problem with direct drilling.

    Always put slug pellets down the pipe at drilling. Have had to reseed because of Fritfly. I watch for damaged plants and spray buy if we had a prolonged dry spell in Sept I'd spray as a matter of course

    Unless you can still get draza your wasting your time putting pellets down with the drill

    If you are seeing damage its probably too late. Rep at a farm walk last year was saying to put it in the mix with the glyphosphate
