The Backie slug trap is designed to catch slugs without the use of chemical pesticides/slug pellets. Using the correct form and content, the slugs are lured and captured in the cut cymbidium cultivation, which reduces the major damage caused by the slugs to a very low level. In addition to cymbidium cultivation, Studio Catch is involved in the development of other crops such as alstroemeria, gerbera, anthurium and rose.
The company Studio Catch, consisting of graduate students from TU Delft, in collaboration with Houweling and a number of growers, designed this product. Houweling Horticulture is responsible for the production and sales of these traps.
