AI Article Synopsis
- The study assessed how effective black plastic mulching is at killing snails in Yunnan Province's mountainous regions.
- Four experimental groups used varying durations of black plastic mulching, while a control group used a traditional chemical method for comparison.
- Results showed that after 90 and 120 days of mulching, no snails were found in those groups, indicating a 100% decrease in snail density, with costs being comparable to the control method.
Article Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the molluscicidal effect of black plastic mulching in mountainous areas of Yunnan Province.
Methods: In Leqiu Village, Nanjian County, Yunnan Province, the terraced fields with Oncomelania hupensis snails were divided into A, B, C, D, E groups, and of which, A, B, C, D groups, as the experimental groups, were administered with simple black plastic mulching for 30 days, 60 days, 90 days and 120 days respectively; Group E, as the control group, was administered with 50% niclosamide ethanolamine salt wettable powder spraying.
Results: In Group C and D (simple black film mulching for 90 days and 120 days), no snails were found after the administration, the average density of living snails decreased by 100%, and the cost of one year was similar to that of the control group.
Conclusion: The molluscicidal effect of black plastic mulching is good in mountainous areas.
