title: [Poison effect of plant granules on Oncomelania hupensis].
abstract: Plant granules (phi 2-3 mm) made of starch, gelatin and medicine plant powder were used to kill Oncomelania hupensis. The results showed that after eating the plant granules, the mortality of the snail was 92.5%-100% within 24 hrs. The poison effect of the plant granules was much better than that of others, e.g., they could kill snails 12-24 h earlier than Niclosamidum (1 x 10(-3) g.L-1). In a field experiment, the snail mortality was up to 61.5% by using plant granules.
