Pomacea insularus (Gastropoda : Pilidae) : its control under the integrated pest management (IPM) concept
Three control measures of Pomace a insularus as parts of IPM (Integrated Pest Management) components were studied; firstly the development of plant molluscicides, secondly the use of fish as its biological control and thirdly its utilisation as quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) feed.

Three control measures of Pomace a insularus as parts of IPM (Integrated
Pest Management) components were studied; firstly the development of plant
molluscicides, secondly the use of fish as its biological control and thirdly its
utilisation as quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) feed. Leaf powder of yellow flame
(Peltophorum pterocarpum) was found to be quite effective in killing the snails. The
powder is water soluble (28% solubility) and yielded high extracts (25% of water
extraction and 23% of methanol extraction). The LC₅₀ value of this powder solution
is about 91 mg/L at 72 h. exposure, on two-week-old test snails. Saponins were the
active compounds found in the yellow flame leaves. Kept in solution form, the
molluscicide strength deteriorated after 30 days with toxicity level reduced to 34%.
The toxicity of the molluscicide in the field trials was found to be twice lower than
that of Tea Seed Cake (TSC) powder, a molluscicide used in Malaysia. The
broadcasting application of 150 kg/ha of this leaf powder molluscicide in 15 cm deep
rice field (equivalent to 100 mg/L) killed 100% of the adult snails in three days as compared to about 75 kg/ha (equivalent to 50 mg/L) of TSC. Study on the control of
the snails using fishes revealed that black carp, Mylopharyngodon piceus and hybrid
African catfish, Clarias sp. were good snail predators. In the laboratory trials the
former was more vigorous, consuming at the rate of 60% of its body weight, within
24 h, while the latter consumed only 7%. Due to the shape and size of its mouth,
black carps had greater ability in swallowing the snails than catfish. Young black
.carp of 25 g in size could consume snails of up to about 1.0 em in shell length. There
were high correlationships between the size of snails consumed and the size of fish
and the mouth width, with the equation ofY = 0.26 Ln (X) + 0.16 ( r2
= 0.93) and of
Y = 0. 4 Ln (X) + 1.25 (r2 = 0.93), respectively. Adult catfish (119 - 171 g) could
only consume snails of up to 1.5 em shell length. Results from the release of catfish
into the rice field showed a clear trend of a reduction in the snail population.
Macroinvertebrates populations presence in the rice field were another source of
food supply to the fish, thus enabling the fish to grow without being given
supplementary food. Biological control of this snail using fish was, however,
