Molluscicidal effect of certain compounds against two lannd snail species, monach.4 obstructs and eobania vermiculata under laboratory and field conditions
Abstract: Effect of two natural compounds; Neemix 9.5% (plant extract) and Vertimic 1.8% bio compound (abamectin) in addition to the molluscicide compound Cekumeta 5.0% (metaldhyd) were waluated as a bait or contact (thin film) against two land snail species, Monacha obstructa and Eobania vermiculata under laboratory and field conditions of Kafr El -Sheikh Governorate. Laboratory results showed that when the three tested compoumds used as a bait, Cekumeta was the most toxic one against the two snail species followed by Vertimic, while Neemix was the lowest effective one. On the other hand, itil. obstructa was more susceptible for Neemix and Vertimic than E. vermiculata while vice- versa occurred in case of Cekumeta bait compound. In case of contact method, Neemix compound was more toxic to Eobania E. vermiculata. than M. obstructa. In contrast M. obstructa was more sensitive to Vertimic than E. vermiculata.
The field results were in harmony with those which were obtained from laboratory as Cekumeta moltuscicide bait was the most efficient one against both species followed with Vertimic and Neemix when applied as baits. But when applied as a spray, Neemix was more efficacy than Vertimic. Also, l4. obstructa was more susceptible to both compounds than E. vermiculata
