Slugs, bugs and other annoying pests can wreak havoc in fields throughout a crop's lifecycle. As Pioneer Field Agronomist Jonathan Rotz explains, moist, high residue environments are a slug’s delight. Slugs are sporadic pests of corn primarily associated with no-till practices and heavy crop residue.
