Results revealed that carbosulfan exhibited the highest efficacy, while chiorpyrifos was the lowest one. On the other hand, six chemicals namely, methomyl, chlorpyrifos, lufenuron, spinosad, copper sulfate and ferrous sulfate were evaluated against M. cartusiana snails under field conditions in two fields cultivated with onion and broad bean at Abo-Hakim village, Zagazig county.
