Laboratory evaluation of the molluscicidal potency of a butanol extract of Phytolacca dodecandra (endod) berries.
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.
