[Studies on molluscicidal effect of bromoacetamide against Ganesella virgo]

Molluscicidal effect of bromoacetamide against the snails in laboratory and field trials were observed. Grassland of Guiliu River in Keerqinyouyiquanqi District, Neimengol Autonomous Region was selected for field trials. The results showed that bromoacetamide was fairly effective against Ganesella virgo, the intermediate host of Dicrocoelium chinensis and Eurytrema pancreaticum. In field trials, 7 days after spraying at a dosage of 0.5g/m2, 74.7-84.7% of snails were killed. When a dosage of 1g/m2 was used, the mortality of snails reached 84.8-95.7%.
