Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to assess the short-term effectiveness of two types of plastic mulch for controlling snail populations in Yunnan Province’s irrigation and drainage ditches.
- Four groups were formed: colorless plastic mulch, black plastic mulch, and both types with added molluscicide. Snail mortality rates were measured at various intervals post-application, along with soil temperature data.
- Results showed colorless mulch had a higher snail mortality rate than black mulch, but neither was very effective alone; adding molluscicide significantly improved effectiveness, suggesting that using just plastic mulch is inadequate for snail control in this region.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the distribution of snails in Eryuan County, Yunnan Province from 2005 to 2012 to support better control measures for snail-related issues.
- Using geographic data, researchers employed spatial and temporal analysis methods to understand snail characteristics over time.
- Results showed a decrease in snail presence overall, but an increase in specific areas, indicating the need for targeted surveillance and control strategies based on localized high concentration regions.
