Abstract:
Objective To explore a high molluscicidal efficient method in special Oncomelania hupensis snail environments. Methods In 2005 and 2006,in large special environments(rubble creek beaches and seepage barren hills with snails),the me-chanical soil-buried method(excavator digging to bury deep snails)and manual soil-buried method were used respectively,and the results were compared for the cost-effectiveness. Results With the mechanical soil-buried method in 2006,the investment was 0.78 yuan/m2,and the compression rate of snail areas was 100%;with the manual soil-buried method in 2005,the investment was 1.34 yuan/m2,and the compression rate of snail areas was 20.26%. The former was much better than the latter. Conclusion In the large special environments with snails,the mechanical soil-buried method is superior to manual soil-buried method.
