Abstract
New methods and possibilities of protecting crops from slug feeding are still being sought. Recently, infusions or extracts of various plants have been increasingly used (KOZ£OWSKI et al. 2004, DANKOWSKA 2005, PISAREK 2005). A great majority of higher plants produce chemical compounds which may affect living organisms. They may to a lesser or greater extent limit feeding of many animal species (£AKOTA & KWIATKOWSKI 1993). At the same time, they as much less harmful to the useful entomofauna and to humans, compared to synthetic compounds. The aim of this study was to test infusions of 10 spice or aromatic plant species with respect to their effect on feeding of Deroceras laeve (O. F. Muller, 1774).
