By ANN MACHARIAMore by this AuthorA few weeks ago, I received an email from a farmer seeking ways to control snails that were feasting on her cabbages. Mostly, they cause damage to ground crops such as brassicas, lettuces, potato tubers and ripening strawberries. Snails and slugs are in the class Gastropoda, and they cause similar damage to crops. Parsley can be a good trap crop for snails. Snails and slugs can also be controlled by handpicking though it’s tedious and inconveniencing, especially on large-scale farms.
