Slugs are pests of economic crops, causing considerable losses in the yields of many vegetables. This research aims to compare the effect by contact and ingestion of two formulations of essential oils of Eucalyptus globulus and Eucalyptus cinerea against Deroceras spp. at two concentrations. An experimental research was conducted in the laboratory at the University of Pamplona. Two trials with completely randomized designs with 5 treatments and 10 repetitions (one for the effect by contact and the other by ingestion) were developed, spraying concentrations of 200 and 400 ppm of essential oils of Eucalyptus globulus or Eucalyptus cinerea on Deroceras spp. slugs. The corresponding analyzes of variance were performed. The affectation of mobility of Deroceras spp. was higher than 40% by contact and 45% by ingestion on the eighth day. The formulations of both species of Eucalyptus at both concentrations caused mortality of Deroceras spp. equal to or higher than 95%. E. globulus showed similar TL50 at 200 and 400 ppm (9.28 days) by contact and between 7.62 and 6.16 days by ingestion, respectively, while the LT50 for E. cinerea varied between 8.60 and 7, 43 days per contact and between 8.19 and 7.73 days per ingestion at 400 ppm and at 200 ppm respectively. The essential oils of E. globulus and E. cinerea exerted an effect by contact and ingestion on Deroceras spp., affecting movements and causing high mortality.
