MOLLUSCICIDAL EFFICICIENCY OF SOME PESTICIDES AGAINST Helix aspersa LAND SNAILS UNDER LABORATORY CONDITIONS
The relative toxicity of three pesticides namely, ¡ndoxacarb, lufenuron and
Bacillus Ihumngiensis were determined in the laboratory against the brown garden
snails (Helix aspersa). Methomyl involved as a common standard is being used
recommended moHuscicide against such pest. The toxicity index of the tested
compounds was 100, 92.18, 88.05, 84.28 and 40.86 for methomyl, lufenuron,
indoxacarb SC, Bacillus thumngiensis and indoxacarb EC, respectively. Also, data
indìcated that the percentages of mortality were increased by increasing the
concentration of the tested pesticides. Lufenuron was the highest effect (63.33%) after
2 days while the lowest effect was ¡ndoxacarb EC (1833 %) whereas indoxacarb SC
and B. thunngiences were intermediate. After seven days the results revealed that
lufenuron and ¡nd6xacarb SC were the mast effective against land snails (85.12%)
and (78.44%) respectively, compared with methomyl (96.19%), while B. thunngiences
has a moderate effect (47.85%). lndoxacarb EC has a slight effect (32.14%); hence,
most of the tested compounds used in the present study can be recommended for
field — trials against H. aspersa in terms of efficacy.
