| Abstract | ||
| The toxic effects of some insecticides namely: Biosect, Biocanse, Biofly, Biofar, Actara, Admiral, Admire, Marshal and Kuik under laboratory conditions were studied against the land snail Monacha cantiana (Montagu), as well as the effect of LCso's of Biofar, Admiral, Admire and Kuik on laid eggs and hatchability in snails exposured to those compounds via pouring on the soil surface or feeding on treated bran for one and seven days. Toxicity results revealed that Biosect was the most effective one against the land snail followed by Biocanse and Biofly, while Biofar was the least one (Entomopathogenic fungi). Whereas, Actara was the most potent compound on the land snail M. cantiana followed by Admiral, Admire and Marshal, while Kuik was the lowest effective after one day from treatment. In all insecticides treatments, the mean numbers of laid eggs per pair were highly reduced as well as, laid eggs that failed to hatch. | ||
