STUDY ON INCREASING MOLLUSCICIDAL EFFECT BY COMPLEX NICOTINANILIDE WITH NICLOSAMIDE / 中国血吸虫病防治杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the increment of molluscicidal effect and reduction of the cost as well as increasing snail control area by complex commercial molluscicides. Methods Nicotinanilide and niclosamide were combined with the proportion of 1∶1 (The complex of short term was complex molluscicide), and then the snail control tests by immersion and spraying methods were performed using the complex molluscicide in laboratory and field. Meanwhile, the snails climbing from water as they contacted with molluscicide was observed. Results Under the temperature 23-25℃ in lab and 8-19℃ in the field, 0.4 mg/L of the complex by immersion for 48 h, the mortalities of the snails were 100% and 97% respectively. Using 0.4 g/m 2 of complex by spraying for 48 h in lab and the field, the mortalities of the snails were 100% and 81.1% respectively. The rate of snails climbing from water in the complex group decreased by 72.1% compared with the nicotinanilide group. The difference between the two groups was obviously significant (P
