title: Laboratory evaluation of the molluscicidal potency of a butanol extract of Phytolacca dodecandra (endod) berries.
abstract: The effect of butanol extracts of endod against Biomphalaria choanomphala, B. pfeifferi, and Bulinus (Physopsis) nasutus was tested at different concentrations and for different exposure periods. Exposure to 19-25 ppm for 6 hours or to 6-7 ppm for 24 hours caused about 100% mortality.
