| Abstract | ||||
| The inorganic salts of copper sulfate, sodium fluoride, sodium chlorate, sodium pyrophosphate and potassium cyanate were tested as bran bait formulation at the rates of 0.125, 0.25, 0.50, 1.0, 2.0 , 4.0, 6.0 and 8.0 % for the control of the small garden snail, Theba pisana (Muller) in the laboratory during 1992 activity season. Copper sulphate showed high mortality percentages (95-100%) at the concentrations 0.5% and 1.0% . The LC50 was 0.2554 and LCgs was 0.4964. Potassium cyanate was the least effective and the concentration 8.0 % produced 45% mortality. Sodium fluoride, sodium chlorate and sodium pyrophosphate produced 93.3 and 100, 91.0 and 100, 88.3 and 100% mortality, respectively, at the concentrations 6.0 and 8.0%. The LC50 and LC95 reached 1.130 and 6.073, 2.404 and 6.456 and 2.325 and 6.834, respectively. | ||||
