ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the effect and cost-effectiveness of three commonly used molluscicides, 4% "Luo-wei" (tea-seed distilled saponins, TDS), 50% niclosamide ethanolamine salt wettable powder (NESWP), and 26% metaldehyde and niclosamide suspension concentrate (MNSC) in large-scale field application, so as to provide the references for formulating the strategy of snail control.METHODS:
The field test and parallel comparison were implemented. A marshland with Oncomelania hupensis snails of the Yangtze River was divided into 4 parts (10 hm2) for the research, and three of them were experimental areas while the last one was a blank control area. The experimental areas were sprayed with 4% "Luo-wei", 50% NESWP and 26% MNSC respectively for 3 times and the interval was 1 week. Seven days after each spraying the effect of snail control was investigated, and the costs of molluscicides, labor, transportation, fuel consumption and mechanical loss were recorded. The cost of each molluscicide, snail mortality, snail density, and the cost of increasing 1% of snail mortality per 100 m2 were analyzed and compared.RESULTS:
After the first, second and third spraying, the corrected snail mortality rates were 67.34%, 76.55% and 84.60% respectively in the 4% "Luo-wei" group; the corrected snail mortality rates were 64.71%, 75.17% and 83.89% respectively in the 50% NESWP group; the corrected snail mortality rates were 66.55%, 76.27% and 86.67% respectively in the 26% MNSC group. There was no significant difference among the 3 groups in the snail mortality at the same spraying time (χ2 = 1.590, 0.571, 3.238, all P > 0.05) . In addition, along with the increase of the spraying times, the snail mortality of each group was increased significantly compared to that of the control group (χ2 = 79.333, 94.718, 117.020, all P < 0.01) . After the first, second and third spraying, the reduction rates of snail density were 69.82%-86.60% in the 4% "Luo-wei" group, 68.66%-86.55% in the 50% NESWP group, and 71.89%-88.87% in the 26% MNSC group respectively. The decreasing amplitude of the snail density was more than 85% in all the experimental areas after 3 rounds of spraying molluscicide. The snail control costs per 100 hm2 were 19.57, 11.97 Yuan and 10.47 Yuan in the 4% "Luo-wei" group, 50% NESWP group, and 26% MNSC group respectively. After the first, second and third spraying, the costs of increasing 1% of snail mortality per 100 m2 were 0.30, 2.08 Yuan and 2.38 Yuan in the 4% "Luo-wei" group, 0.20, 1.10 Yuan and 1.32 Yuan in the 50% NESWP group, and 0.17, 1.04 Yuan and 0.97 Yuan in the 26% MNSC group respectively, and the cost-effectiveness was the highest at the first spraying in all the three groups.CONCLUSIONS:
The effects of the three molluscicides for snail control are similar, but the efficacy of snail control is reduced as the spraying time increases.Palabras clave
