Metaldehyde 6% B (Metalan G)

500 g Package

Metaldehyde 6% B (Metalan G) is a molluscicide formulation designed for the management of slugs and snails in agricultural and horticultural environments.

It is intended for professional crop-protection programs where mollusks may damage young plants, leaves, seedlings, fruits, or other susceptible plant tissues.

Product Overview

Metaldehyde belongs to the cyclic tetraacetal chemical group and acts primarily through contact and ingestion by susceptible mollusks.

The product is formulated to support the management of slug and snail populations in accordance with the registered product label and local agricultural regulations.

Target Pests

Metaldehyde 6% B is primarily used for the management of:

• Slugs
• Snails
• Other susceptible terrestrial mollusks, where permitted by the registered label

Target pests and approved crops may vary between countries and registration authorities.

Agricultural Uses

Metaldehyde-based molluscicides are used in a range of agricultural and horticultural production systems where slug and snail activity can reduce crop establishment, plant quality, or marketable yield.

Depending on local registration, these may include:

• Vegetable crops
• Cucurbits
• Orchards
• Field crops
• Nurseries
• Ornamental plants
• Landscaped agricultural areas

Always refer to the officially registered product label for approved crops, target pests, application conditions, and restrictions.

Mode of Action

Metaldehyde acts against susceptible slugs and snails following contact or ingestion.

Exposure interferes with their normal physiological activity, helping reduce feeding and movement and ultimately contributing to population control.

Environmental conditions can influence mollusk activity and therefore affect the performance of molluscicide programs.

Key Product Features

• Active ingredient: Metaldehyde
• Formulation: 6% B
• Product name: Metalan G
• Package size: 500 g
• Product category: Molluscicide
• Primary targets: Slugs and snails

Role in Crop Protection

Slugs and snails can damage seedlings, young leaves, stems, fruits, and other tender plant tissues.

Effective mollusk management is therefore particularly important during sensitive stages of crop establishment and plant development.

Metaldehyde 6% B can be incorporated into an integrated pest management program where its use is legally registered and agronomically appropriate.

Responsible Use

Because pesticide registrations, permitted crops, application methods, restrictions, and pre-harvest intervals may differ between countries, users should always follow:

• The official product label
• Local pesticide regulations
• Crop-specific recommendations
• Applicable environmental and worker-safety requirements

Use only where Metaldehyde 6% B is officially registered for the intended crop and target pest.
