Abstract | ||||
The eftlcacy of four pesticides methomyl, fenltrothlon, bendIocarb and carbaryl against the land snail, Theba cant/ana (Montagan) was evaluated under three different exposure periods. Each of the tested pesticides was applied as baits at three concentrations. Data indicated that aU pesticides presented the highest snail mortality in the first day of the examination. For the time being, the mortality values showed a gradual decrease to reach the minmum level on the third and fourth day after inspection. The snail mortality percentages were directly associated with the toxicant concentration. It was also clear that methomyl proved to be the most effective material folCMed by fenltrothion. bendiocarb and carbaryl. | ||||
