Slug IPM (Group 4) by https://padlet.com/kirstymcinnes/9488c1pwwa0xx229 Thinking of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approaches, can you begin designing one or more approaches to controlling slugs in OSR fields? These can be ideas you already know are being used in IPM strategies, or ideas you yourself think might work (as cliche as it sounds, there's really no such thing as a stupid idea!).
