Combinations of Azadirachta indica and Cedrus deodara oil with piperonyl butoxide, MGK-264 and Embelia ribes against Lymnaea acuminata.
The binary and tertiary combinations of plant-derived molluscicides Azadirachta indica and Cedrus deodara oil with synergists MGK-264, piperonyl butoxide (PB) and fruit powder of Embelia ribes were used against the Lymnaea acuminata. It was observed that the toxic effects of these mixtures were time- and dose-dependent. The binary and tertiary mixtures of plant-derived molluscicides with synergists were more toxic with respect to the single treatment of the plant-derived molluscicides. Maximum synergistic action in binary and tertiary combinations was found in A. indica + C. deodara oil and A. indica+ PB + C. deodara in 1:7 and 1:5:7 ratio, respectively.
