Abstract
Field trials were carried out at some Governorates in north east of delta, i.e Qalubia, Sharkia, Gharbia, Munyfia, Dakahlia, Dumyat and Ismaelia to survey terrestrial snails species on different vegetation , vegetable, fruit and ornamental plants, i.e. egyptian clover, wheat, rice, maize; cabbage, lettuce, tomato, potatoes, navel orange, grapes, date palm, mango and swallow during two successive years 2013-2014. Results revealed that ten land snails species belonging to five families, Helicidae, [Eobania vermiculata (Müller), Theba pisana (Müller)]; Hygrommiidae, [Helicella vestalis (pfeiffer) , Cochicella acuta (Müller), Monacha cartusiana (Müller), Monacha obstructa (ferussac)]; Succineidae, [Succinea putris (Linnaeus), succinea oblonga (Draparnaud)]; Achatinidae [Rumina decollata (Linnaeus) and Zonitidae [Oxychilus alliarius (Miller)] were recorded.
