As part of the Fourth Scientific Conference for Postgraduate Studies, a research paper presented a study on the effects of certain aqueous and alcoholic extracts on the land snail (Eobania vermiculata) in Karbala Governorate. This research was presented by a Master’s student as part of the Fourth Scientific Conference for Postgraduate Studies.
The student research presentation sessions continued as part of the Fourth Scientific Conference for Postgraduate Studies, with Master’s students presenting their research. One of the sessions featured a presentation of the research paper titled: “A Study of the Effect of Some Aqueous and Alcoholic Extracts on the Ground Snail (Eobania vermiculata) in Karbala Governorate,” prepared by student Mustafa Jaafar Kadhim Al-Tai, under the supervision of Professor Dr. Israa Nasser Ghulam.
The research aims to study the ground snail (Eobania vermiculata), which is considered a widespread agricultural pest that causes significant economic losses due to its feeding on various crops and its transmission of plant pathogens. It is densely populated in greenhouses and farms, especially after autumn, and is characterized by its high adaptability and rapid spread in agricultural environments.
Traditional methods of controlling this snail relied on the use of chemical pesticides such as metaldehyde, but these have become undesirable due to their negative effects on human health and the environment. Therefore, recent studies have focused on finding safe and effective alternatives, including plant extracts such as ginger, clove, and eucalyptus extracts, which have shown promising results in controlling snails using environmentally friendly methods. Due to the limited number of studies… This study was conducted to investigate the local impact of the Eobania vermiculata snail species in Iraq, particularly in the Karbala Governorate, compared to the chemical pesticide metaldehyde.
