Effect of spinosad biocide as a bait and contact applications against three land snail species.
Abstract: The molluscicidal effect of Spinosad biocide 240 Sc was evaluated as a bait or contact against three land snail species-i.e. Monacha obstructa, Eobania vermiculata and Theba pisana under laboratory and field conditions. Laboratory results showed that the tested compound when used as a bait proved more toxic to Theba pisana followed by Monacha obstructa and Eobania vermiculata. But when it was used as a contact, Eobania vermiculata was the most susceptible species to Spinosad followed by Monacha obstructa while Theba pisana was more tolerant. The field applications were in harmony with those obtained by laboratory trails as Spinosad bait was most efficient against Theba pisana followed by Monacha obstructa and Eobania vermiculata but when it was applied as a spray, Eobania vermiculata was more susceptible than Monacha obstructa while Theba pisana was the least effecttive.
