Evaluation of the economic importance of terrestrial gastropod species using some ecological parameters in Dakahlia Governorate

Abstract: Field studies were conducted in seven districts representing Dakahlia Governorate, during 2003 , 2004 seasons to determine the economic importance value of land snail and slug species infesting major crops using some ecological parameters.
Results revealed that Eobania vermiculata Muller achieved the highest economic importance value species (48.761), whereas Monacha cartusiana Muller ranked the second with value of (46.852), followed by Limax flavus with (45.974), Helix aperta Born. (40.887), Succinea putris L. (21.357), Succinea oblonga Draparnaud (20.032), Cepaea hortensis Muller (16.596), Deroceras reticulatum Muller (16.9), Deroceras laeve Muller (14.231), Lehmannia marginata Muller (10.055), Cochilcella acuta Muller (9.409) and Oxychilus alliarius Muller (5.722) the species Ruminna decollata L. showed the least economic importance value (3.224). An importance value of any land snail and slug species differed according to plant species and time of the year (season).
