As anyone with a garden knows, a single wet night is enough to unleash a plague of slugs.
As annoying as this may be for hobby gardeners, it can be devastating for farmers. Understandably, they would do almost anything to keep slugs and snails off their land. In addition to an array of chemical pest control agents, they can choose a fully biological solution: nematodes.
BASF uses a variety of living organisms for targeted pest control:
Harmless organisms kill or displace crop pests such as locusts, harmful insects, bacteria, molds and slugs that cause diseases and threaten harvests. 
Although these natural helpers can never fully replace chemical agents, biological pest control provides effective support.
