    Slug Damage in Relation To Watering Regime: Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment

    Manilyn C. Carcallas
    This study investigated slug damage and numbers of slugs in oilseed rape fields bordering grass strips. The experiment was conducted over 5 weeks beginning when rape seedlings emerged. Slug damage to rape plants within 1 m of grass strips was significantly higher than further away. Deroceras reticulatum was the most abundant slug species found in both grass strips and adjacent rape fields, while Arion lusitanicus and Arion fasciatus were less common. In one field, D. reticulatum numbers declined with increasing distance from grass strips, suggesting it caused most of the severe damage close to strips. This finding was surprising as severe damage by grass strips was previously only seen when A. lusitanicus was abundant

    Abstract
    Slug activity is highly dependent on sufficient soil moisture. In this
    study, we therefore investigated whether changes in the watering
    regime influence slug damage to lettuce. The experiment was
    carried out in Central Switzerland in the summer of 1996. Twelve
    plots (3 treatments × 4 replicates) measuring 1×1 m were planted
    with 11 lettuce plants each. To assess slug damage for each lettuce
    plant, the percentage of leaf area consumed by slugs was estimated
    at seven dates during the experiment. Plots were watered daily
    either in the evening (treatment Evening) or in the morning
    (treatment Morning). In the third treatment (Pellets), plots were
    watered in the evening and additionally treated with metaldehyde
    slug pellets (one application at planting). In the treatment Evening,
    slug damage increased sharply at the beginning of the experiment
    and by the end of the study, almost 60% of leaf area was lost. In the
    treatments Pellets and Morning, slugs consumed approximately
    12% of leaf area. Treatment Evening differed significantly from the
    treatments Pellets and Morning, but Pellets and Morning did not
    differ from each other. In this study with lettuce, morning irrigation
    thus gave a level of protection against slug damage as good as
    metaldehyde pellets combined with evening irrigation

    Abstract
    The molluscicidal activity of essential oils from two endemic
    (Juniperusbrevifolia; Laurus azorica) and three introduced
    (Hedychium gardnerianum; Pittosporum undulatum; Psidium
    cattleianum) Azorean plants against the snail Radix peregra was
    studied under laboratory conditions. Essential oils from leaves of H.
    gardnerianum, L. azorica and J.brevifolia presented promising
    molluscicidal activity on both adults and juveniles stages of R.
    peregra. The molluscicidal activity of these essential oils was found
    to be both time and concentration dependent. Lethal concentrations
    (LC50) varied between 15.4 (L. azorica) and 44.6 ppm (H.
    gardnerianum) for juveniles and from 45.3 (H. gardnerianum) to
    54.6 ppm (J. brevifolia) for R. peregra adults. Ovicidal effect,
    calculated as percentage of egg hatching, at 100 ppm
    concentration, was observed in essential oils from P.
    undulatum flowers (4.2% of hatching) and leaves of H.
    gardnerianum (4.9%), L. azorica (7.4%) and J. brevifolia (17.7%).
    The present study is the first attempt to assess the molluscicidal
    potential of some Azorean plants essential oils against a
    Lymnaeidae snail. In fact, the H. gardnerianum, L. azorica and J.
    brevifolia can offer natural alternative tools for the control of R.
    peregra population, but more research is needed in order to
    determine the mode of action of these oils and determine the side
    effects on the ecosystem where this freshwater snail occurs.

    Highlights

    ► The present study as the first attempt to assess the molluscicidal


    potential of these plants against a Lymnaeidae snail. ► Radix
    peregra is a potential intermediate host of Fasciolahepatica, in
    natural habitats. ► Hedychium gardnerianum, Laurus
    azoricaand Juniperus brevifolia can be alternative tool for the
    control of this population.

    ABSTRACT
    Schistosomiasis is a disease of global extent reaching populations in
    social vulnerability. One of the control measures of this parasitosis is the
    use of molluscicidal substances that can fight snails of the
    genus Biomphalaria, intermediate hosts of Schistosoma mansoni. The aim
    of this work was to study the toxic activity of three mangrove species
    (Avicennia schaueriana Stapf. & Leech, ex Moldenke, 1939, Laguncularia
    racemosa (L.) CF Gaertn, 1807 and Rhizophora mangle L. 1753) on the
    biological activities of snails Biomphalaria glabrata. Hydroalcoholic
    extracts were prepared from the stem and leaves of each of the three
    plant species to which mollusks were exposed. The phytochemical
    analysis of plants showed the presence of important metabolites in the
    leaves and stems of L. racemosa and R. mangle, such as tannins and
    saponins, but the absence of these metabolites in A. schaueriana. Leaf
    and stem extracts of the three plant species showed low molluscicidal
    activity, not reaching the standards determined by the World Health
    Organization (WHO, 1983). L. racemosa and R. mangle has interfered
    with motility, feeding and oviposition of snails, unlike the extracts of A.
    schaueriana, which had no effect on these activities.

    Abstract
    In 1995, slug damage and numbers of slugs were estimated in two grass strips and
    adjacent rape fields. Investigations began as soon as rape seedlings emerged and
    lasted for five weeks. Slug damage to rape plants 1 m from the grass strips was
    significantly higher than at greater distances from the strips. Deroceras
    reticulatum was the most abundant slug species recorded in both grass strips and
    adjacent rape fields. Arion lusitanicus and Arion fasciatus were much less abundant
    than D. reticulatum. In one field, D. reticulatum declined steadily with increasing
    distance from the grass strips and therefore appeared to have caused the majority of
    severe damage to rape plants close to the strips. This finding was surprising because
    until now severe slug damage in oilseed rape beside semi-natural habitats has been
    observed only where A. lusitanicus was abundant.
