Molluscicide resistance and a field test kit.
Molluscicide resistance literature is reviewed. Alterations in tolerance have been recorded in some laboratory experiments and field surveys but not others. Resistance, as the failure to control a natural snail population, has not been reported. A kit is described for measuring molluscicide susceptibility of snails. A microlitre delivery device is used to prepare molluscicide solutions. Trials have shown that the kit can be used successfully in the field.
