Abstract This paper addresses the issue of pesticide loss from agriculture and its impact on aquatic environment. Specifically, this study assesses transport relatively water-soluble polar molluscicide compound metaldehyde in a small (14 km 2 ) water abstraction catchment Essex, southeast England during 14-month period (January 2019–February 2020). A rise concentrations was observed at all moni...

field trials of molluscicide wl8008 (n-tritylmorpholine) were carried out in khuzestan, iran. the liquid 2 (fx/28), a 16.5 w/v emulsifiable concentrate in tetrachloroethylene in concentrations of 0.25 ppm and 0.5 ppm was used against bulinus truncatus and lymnaea gedrosiana in standing and running water systems . bio-assay tests and laboratory experiments were made parallel to the field trials....

This study reports on the in vivo molluscicidal activity and Artemia salina lethality of Azorean Cryptomeria japonica leaf (CJL) essential oils (EOs) obtained by hydrodistillation (HD) water-steam distillation (WSD) techniques, especially light recent focus use forestry wood industry residues a sustainable world economy. Molluscicidal was performed during several life stages Radix peregra immer...

Metaldehyde is a common molluscicide, used to control slugs in agriculture and horticulture. It is resistant to breakdown by current water treatment processes, and its accumulation in drinking water sources leads to regular regulatory failures in drinking water quality. To address this problem, we isolated metaldehyde-degrading microbes from domestic soils. Two distinct bacterial isolates were ...

The molluscicidal effects of Talinum triangulare from two locations in Nigeria on Bulinus truncatus were studied in the laboratory. Snails were exposed for 96h to different concentrations of ethanolic extract of the plant root from Nsukka in Enugu State and Erei in Cross River State, Nigeria. Those in dechlorinated water served as control. On coming in contact with the test medium, the snails r...
