The investigation will be carried out in the path of Monteadentro that is one of the strawberry producers, since in the province of Pamplona it has been observed that slugs attack the strawberry a lot because it is a very juicy fruit and wanted by mollusks to its diet, the proper management that has been done for the control of slugs has been more than any chemical, in the work carried out is to look for a new alternative such as the biological control that has been working with natural products so as not to affect the health of consumers and be able to conserve the environment.
