[Cost-effectiveness analysis of mechanical and manual soil-buried methods for Oncomelania hupensis control]
Objective:
To explore a high molluscicidal efficient method in special Oncomelania hupensis snail environments.
Methods:
In 2005 and 2006, in large special environments (rubble creek beaches and seepage barren hills with snails), the mechanical soil-buried method (excavator digging to bury deep snails) and manual soil-buried method were used respectively, and the results were compared for the cost-effectiveness.
Results:
With the mechanical soil-buried method in 2006, the investment was 0.78 yuan/m2, and the compression rate of snail areas was 100%; with the manual soil-buried method in 2005, the investment was 1.34 yuan/m2, and the compression rate of snail areas was 20.26%. The former was much better than the latter.
Conclusion:
In the large special environments with snails, the mechanical soil-buried method is superior to manual soil-buried method.
