| Abstract: | The effect of sub-lethal doses (40% and 80% ofLC50/24h) of plant derived molluscicides of singly,binary (1:1) and tertiary (1:1:1) combinations of the Rutin,Ellagic acid, Betulin and taraxerol with J. gossypifolia latex,leaf and stem bark powder extracts and their active component on thereproduction of freshwater snail Lymnaea acuminata have beenstudied. It was observed that the J. gossypifolia latex, stembark, individual leaf and their combinations with other plant derived activemolluscicidal components caused a significant reduction in fecundity,hatchability and survival of young snails. It is believed that sub-lethalexposure of these molluscicides on snail reproduction is a complex processinvolving more than one factor in reducing the reproductive capacity. |
