The T24 applicator – a multi-purpose broadcaster
12th August 2021
The recent rise in wet summer weather is the ultimate breeding ground for slugs, so Farmers Guide took a look at Bullock Tillage’s slug pellet applicators for drills and ATVs.
With so many options on the market for farmers to choose from when it comes to slug control equipment, it can be hard to know where to begin. On average, around 200 slugs live in a cubic metre of soil and the pests are able to devour several times their own bodyweight from your crops.
Bullock Tillage offers farmers and growers a cost-effective range of cultivation equipment from its head office in Malvern, Worcestershire, UK.
Its slug pellet applicators for drills and quad bikes/ATVs has rapidly gained a reputation for being the only single-disc machine that will throw all types of slug pellets accurately to 24m (independently tested).
