Abstract
Field Observation on Biology and Ecology of Terrestrial Snails Infesting Field and Vegetable Crops at Gharbia Governorate
Highlights
In recent years, land snails are considered one of the most important pests attacking field and vegetable crops, fruit trees and ornamental plants
Problems caused by gastropod pests on agricultural crops were detected in many countries of the world i.e., Australia (Baker, 1989), China (Chen, 1994), England (Garthwaite and Thomas, 1996), Pakistan (Ali, 1991), Spanish (Castielleio et al, 1996) and Switzerland (Baur and Baur, 1993)
Survey of Terrestrial Snails Infesting Certain Field And Vegetable Crops During 2017/2018 At Gharbia Governorate: Results of a survey carried out on molluscs fauna infesting certain field and vegetable crops in nine villages representing three districts of Gharbia Governorate revealed the occurrence of two land snails species belonging to order: Pulmonata
Summary
Land snails are considered one of the most important pests attacking field and vegetable crops, fruit trees and ornamental plants. They are mostly vegetarian feed on leaves, roots and tubers of the infested plants. At present time they were determined in all Delta Governorates infesting field and vegetable crops as well as other fruit trees and ornamental plants. The objectives of the present study are to survey land snails infesting certain field and vegetable crops at Gharbia Governorate and monitoring population dynamics as well as the breading season of the most abundant species
